Whoops! I meant to quote the post that had BGMatt's question with MelissaG's reply, but lost the plot somewhere...

Where did you get them from? The first ones I got had some non standard colors, crossed beaks, and although I had a few sweet ones, most were pretty snarky, but no bloodshed. The Reds I have from both Dick Horstman and Rudy Troxel are all mellow and good tempered, so maybe it is the line, or...

... I just thought you guys were ignoring me (lol). Alaskan, there was a woman who goes by Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain who was raising SC SGD's in Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. I think she got out of keeping chickens due to work schedule/travel... But still might be an interesting resource...

Sandhill recently acquired Ed Hart's RC Colored line, so you might actually end up with some decent birds from them.

Well said dalalune. We may not yet be seeing the full benefit of membership yet, but I am very appreciative of Jim Parker's efforts on behalf of the breed, and I will continue to pay my dues willingly, encourage others to join, and look forward to watching it grow and flourish.

Congrats I got reds from him last year. All arrived in good shape. I have his SGD eggs in the bator right now. Hoping I get something to hatch in spite of the PO. They've been a little rough on everyone the last few weeks from the posts I'm seeing.

See? Destined to be a moneymaker! (ROFL)

Actually, I have enjoyed lurking along with this conversation... On the one hand, I have no interest in trying to breed Blue laced Red Polkadotted Dorkings (lol) since they are not in the SOP (or existence for that matter, I'm jut being silly :D) but I am (against very good advice) planning on...

Lol! I have a "Dorky Egger" from year before last year's incubator testing. Great hen, smart, hardy, good tempered bird that lays a big green egg. Like you, I don't have any breeds that one could confuse any mixed offspring as being pure Dorking, but I've dumbed it down even further :) The...

Very nice :)

FYI- My adventures with incubators has included a Repti-Pro. I had a terrible time keeping the humidity up to the 45-55 percent, but successfully hatched 7 of 9 shipped Blue Guinea eggs. Had another good-ish hatch with low 30's humidity, but when I figured out how to get "proper" humidity, my...

Yep, it's on the Links page at http://www.dorkings.com You can also get there directly: http://www.blackdiamondguestranch.com

Pretty sure there is a link at dorkings.com

... I blame lead paint chips, or something... Kim, thank you for once again getting it right! Thanks for keeping me strait. I was going to order from McM, so that's what stuck... Well whatever my post said folks, just substitute Stromberg Hatchery in place of McMurray (lol).

You ln You know, I was sure, till you asked (lol). I'll double check my paperwork...

I don't know about this year, but last year McM's birds WERE from Duane Urch. I had an order in, but he had a problem with the SGD's and offered to cancel, or do all Campines. I ended up getting both Gold and Silver Campines. Out of the 24 or so in the box, 1 was DOA, 3 subsequently died, but...

It all sounds so simple... Thank you for all of your advice.

More Rooster Pics. Ones in bad lighting are the Horstman birds, ones in chainlink dog run are Troxel/Tice. Not the best or most flattering photos... But one can get an idea(?).

Yeah, and I said Ideal because I couldn't remember Superior Farms. I see shiny things and lose my train of thought ;) Now if I could just figure out how to edit that post... Ok, Karen, when you say use them all, do you mean use all of the hens? with related roos, or unrelated? I have...
