What variety is the first chick? I have not yet seen juvenile dorkings so I don't recognize them well.

Quote: you won't recognize these likely anyways, red pyle are very uncommon, not recognized by APA and only a couple people are working on them... the first chick looks like a blue breasted red pullet.

Need a replacement SG Rooster. I am in the north Houston, TX area. If anyone has a replacement for sale I would really like to get my hands on one.

unfortunately my little red dorking (cockerel I think, from the markings) decided to commit suicide in 1/2" of water yesterday... but still a couple in the incubator that will be hatching soon I hope.

Wher is the best place to buy Red Dorking chicks or eggs?

IMO rudy troxel and dick horstman have the best, but the ones from Sandhill aren't bad either. my own girls are from tice/horstman lines with my roo being a cross between that and Sandhill.

Well, I lost Mongo to the cold. he wasn't in the coop last night...he had chosen to hunker down under the goat shed. I thought he' be fine under there but he wasn't. kicking myself now. woke to find him frozen stiff.

But I still have his son, who honestly looks identical to him. and I have Tonda, my blue-red, who is friggin HUGE. I need to weigh him.

Question on the genetics of blue-red. if I breed him to regular red hens it acts like BBS...50% will be red and 50% will be blue-red, right?
