I'm in Oklahoma and have received my Dorkings from private breeders and have had terrible luck with them. I finally have a pair that I adore, but I had to buy them full grown, because every chick I've hatched has died young. I haven't gotten any fertile eggs out of my pair, but I haven't figured out why yet. The eggs haven't been fertilized, so I just did a trim on Lady Dingwald, but then yesterday Lord Dingwald flew over the fence and got dog-mauled. I have him inside and it's touch and go right now, but last night he was beak-down in his bed with an almost totally black comb, and this morning his comb is half black, half red, and he was head up, looking around. I know he took a drink, which is a good sign.
