Where are you located? I am in North Carolina. Would you be interested in studding with my Silver Dorking Roosters?

I am not familiar with color genetics. What could one expect from a silver grey dorking cockeral over a red pullet?

Im assuming whatever the dominate gene would be?

This might help, if any sense can be made of it:

Quote from link; "The males if red cannot carry silver hidden because silver is dominant to red but if silver can carry red hidden."

So the potential could be both silver and red offspring?

ETA: Maybe I'm getting a little too excited

, oh well

Really off the subject question - i am a "lurker" on this thread lol - but curious as i never see anyone mention the Cuckoo Dorking - is this variety very rare ?
Thanks

When I picked up my red pullet, the breeder had a few young cuckoo dorkings in one run. They were the first I had ever seen, but very lovely.

When i first started in chickens that was my goal - to raise Cuckoo Dorkings - but never found any ! Perhaps someone on this thread knows of some somewhere?
