I thought that was what you got NN Alohas for?

Yes, but there was only one breeder that I found that had any of them, so I bought the 2 hen's. Now I need to somewhat out-cross to bring in more gene diversity in what I have.

You might not get much white splash with this boy, but he sure has the nice Dorking manners and size. Very pretty gold neck hackles.

I still have to figure out what male to put the full Aloha pullet with when she matures. Maybe the red NN/Aloha cockerel that is the brother to the one that I want to put with your Dorking?

You could then breed the cousins, NN and 1/2 Dorkings, the results would be 1/4 Dorking, with some NNs?

SOOOO Beautiful and green --- and I think I might have similar teacups- also beautiful

Thanks! Good ole' Royal Albert, eh? I use several of mine everyday (several because I keep putting my coffee down to go do something and forget where I left it!).

p.s. I left a forgotten cup in the flowerbed, where a thorny grass burr fell in. When I threw down the last cold swallow, it lodged in my throat and costs me two days of agony and $12,000 for surgery to get it out!!! Now I don't finish off forgotten cups, no matter how pretty!

White splashing wouldn't show up in the first generation. They would hide it. It could show up in the second generation though, if 2 that are hiding it are bred together.

You can't loose the coffee!

He could be a Colored Dorking, Sandhill carries those, too. It would be easy to mix those chicks up. This is from their web page:

Colored Dorking​

Colored Dorking - Slightly variable in color. Male’s neck and saddle feathers can be silvery to golden straw colored. The remaining feathers are basically black with light straw lacing. Females will vary from silvery to golden straw with varying chest colors. Color variations occur within this variety. They have a single comb with six points.

If he doesn't work out

Not sure what you mean

Is this it,,,,,,,,,

Here are a couple I just went and took. He is a good boy, just standing there while I take photos. Very calm. Nice big Dorking feet with 5 toes. He is going to be a big boy when he grows up. Hatched 5/4/21. The last one is with his Red hatch mates.

if he were a pullet you could call him (her) "blondie".

In addition to the color variations within the colored dorking, do you think that the genetics for the silver/golden color is hidden/recessive in the red dorking? maybe you should do a trial....
