Hmmm on the parasites. I will check. It's about time to dose them with Ivermectin, though I haven't really seen anything, it surely won't hurt. The temps only are in the low 30's here at night, and the roo seems active enough, and since I've already hatched eggs from him and these same girls...

This is my first winter (OK, so it's still officially fall) with a laying flock of Dorkings. They started laying late Oct and fertility was fairly good then. However, since then fertility has dropped to zero. I would have thought it was just my birds but I got some Dorking eggs from a friend...

My Dorkings just started laying well, and I have trouble with them wanting to lay in the dirt too. I'll try making the nest boxes darker. Thanks. I also have a question. My eggs were very fertile and hatched well for a time, and now, none of them are developing. I also got some Dorking eggs...

Oh, and yeah, of the 11, 10 have 5 toes. The other one has five toes on 1 foot and 4 on the other. :-)

I just hatched some eggs from her. Had 11 hatch out of 17 shipped, which I think is pretty good for shipped eggs. Especially since when I went to pick them up, the clerk at the post office slammed the box down sideways on the counter. grrrrr. Had some displaced air cells, but not due to...

So cute!!!!!!

Thank you! I can't wait to see them.

Wow, how can you tell it's a pullet right away? That's awesome!

Thanks guys, you spoke what I suspected about all the colors. I do have some red eggs coming from Horstman, I am sure those are legit. I will try to get some pics of the older juveniles (5 months) and you guys can tell me if they're worth adding to a breeding flock or not. I will probably...

Does anyone know of a place where you can look at all the color varieties available in dorkings? I've seen red, white, SG, and salmon. Seems there are so many colors, or are those just breeding projects? tawny, fawn, etc

Hi there, I am a complete newbie with dorkings. I've been stalking this thread. I got some chicks in last fall from Serina at Flip Flop Ranch and ordered some hatching eggs from someone else which are hatching as I type to get some genetic diversity. I've got two questions: 1. I've had...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread. I have 7 dorking juvies I got from Flip Flop Ranch. I've had my heart set on this breed for a long time. I think I have a 5 toed pair Yeah! But they're only about 6 weeks and 2 different colors so we'll have to see. Medic, yes, I use turkey starter...

Rare Breed, So sorry to hear about your Dorkings. I know it breaks your heart. Hoping for the best with the rest of your flock. Is it possible for something such as this to produce a resistance to MG/MS? It seems I read somewhere that one of the main hatcheries was MS+ and some people were...
