Anyone know what kind he is?

[farmgirl1995]

I call him Pontius. He's my head rooster. Does anyone know what kind he is? I've had my ideas. But I can't decide.

Am I seeing FIVE toes on him? If so, I really don't know. . . Some sort of crossbreed.

 

[farmgirl1995]

Yup 5 toes. I've never seen it before. I got him from McMurray Hatchery and they said he was purebred.

He's a silver grey dorking

Oh yeah, those. . . Well yeah, he is a Dorking. Just. . . A skinny dorking.

Oh and if a hatchery promises you they have purebred stuff, NEVER trust them - Especially Murray Mcmurray.

He's still a baby Around 5 months. Grrr thats not nice. Where am I supposed to get purebred chickens?

From a breeder....find a breed club, or go to a show to find good breeders with quality stock.

Also, check the breed database on here...

...eta...of course there isn't a thread on here for Dorkings, that would be too easy...

 

[farmgirl1995]

Gracias. Hmm....maybe one should be started?

I would not say that hatchery stock are not purebred, just that they are not bred for quality. Hatcheries breed for quantity, and really don't worry about meeting the standard; they are concerned with meeting customer orders.
