We acquired 3 red dorking hens and would love to get a roo for them. They are such sweethearts.

That is beautiful hen, but she has the color pattern similar to a double laced feather, much like my Barnevelders, as opposed to the standard red duckwing pattern usually seen in the U.S. Are you outside the U.S., where other colors are more common, or did you get her from Craig Russel, who I've heard breeds many of the non-SOP red colors?

We picked the three hens up from a lady close to us that lost her roo and the nest that was being built up to a fox. I am unsure where she got them from myself. But I can find out. They really are pretty ladies. And very curious. We are in the US.

We live close to canada, northren New York. I found the feathersite link, on it they had listed single-laced under one of their roosters. Is there such thing as double-laced? http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Dorks/BRKDorks.html . Searching double-laced I came up with a thread on BYC with a double-laced silver dorking? There was debate on there whether it was a dorking or not. If double-lace red is possible(even though not standard) it would be lovely to hear, because the next question would be, "What are you guys? Are you even our dorks?" lol

Quote: she's a red penciled (aka partridge). double laced would have a black edge not a red/brown edge. and to my knowledge, that variety doesn't exist in Dorkings. can you show us some pics of her feet and whole body from the side? (natural position, not posed)

Oh, really? /img/smilies/clap.gif

     The Dorking is a dual purpose breed; eggs and meat, so if there are any culls or non-show quality males, schwwwwwik! A pic of a Red Dorking male and a Red Dorking female:

I am trying to find dorkings but have a question for those more expert at this. I just got a roo given to meby someone because husvtown outlawed loud noisy anumals.
Other than the comb he looks just like this red roo. Are there others. That look that close as he has no idea what it was justbliked him when he got him.

What does his comb look like? There are other breeds that have this color pattern. Can you post a picture?
