Awwww!!!!! I love babies!! Too cute.

A whole brooder full of Dorkings would be a dream come true for me! I just had one hatch -- only 2 are in the incubator this week.

Seriously... I think there is nothing sweeter than a Dorking baby...


Case in point...

(This was a couple of years ago... I'm hoping to do a new one in about 3 weeks...

Chicks on lace... hope you don't care if it gets dirty

Just got 10 Cuckoo Dorkings! Adorable! Can't wait to start on my Creole project with my Red Dorking Roo!

Everyone tucked under momma and all seems quiet in the chicken coop. Will check on them again before I go to bed. It is always scary to put the chicks under a broody hen. You just never know if when the sun comes up if the hen will go bonkers. Never had that problem myself but have heard of others struggles... Wish me luck!

LOL! I put them on paper towels first, because you KNOW they're going to poop first thing... then I can take pics. But it was a lace tablecloth, easily washed.

Where did you get them? I've been going cuckoo looking for Cuckoo Dorkings!!

I got them at Sand Hill Preservation Center in Calamus, Iowa. I will post pictures soon! Healthy and sweet. They threw in a couple of white dorkings and a black dorking as fillers! I also got my Red Dorkings there last year. Very satisfied!

Nice! I may order from them yet. Can't wait to see pics!

Here are pictures of my Cuckoo Dorkings! (plus some fillers that I think are white dorkings). Is there anyway to sex them? some seem to have a totally black head, while others just have a dot. The flash makes some look like they have yellow legs, but they are really white.
