dark grey is not a recognized variety by APA, but I'd like to see pictures of your birds and also know the weights on your adults?

are you breeding the colors separately or all in one pen?  white can be recessive so it depends which pen the eggs came from to identify which line carries the strain.

I figured this out 1/2 is coming from my colored single comb rooster,the other 1/2 is coming from one of my three silver grey hens, two single comb, one rose comb.

Hello,
I'm looking for Dorkings in the VA/MD area for a historical project. I'm cooking a Medieval feast in June and I'm looking for around 10 chickens that are currently ready for table or I could buy now and have them ready by late June.

And if you have a few Dorking hens that are laying or close to laying that would be awesome too.

So, if you are culling your flock, I'm interested in helping you out

Thanks,
Kristi

I have been informed by my employer that due to the AI scare, I have to disperse my entire flock prior to Sunday. I have two pair of Red Dorkings from the Roger Tice line that would make a great beginning to a flock for these. Due to the time frame and the quarantines that everyone is imposing, I am sure that live shipments are out.

Is there anyone within driving distance of Fort Smith that would like these birds?

Let me know,

Crystal

I wish you live closer. I love to get good stock.

This late in the year you will have a tough time. I was put on several lists in January and still didn't get in line fast enough. What type of dorking are you looking for?

 

[imtrying]

red or silver grey or colored - - - late in the year? it's april?

I think what Berryhill meant by that is that breeders take orders earlier for birds that are hatching this time of year and if you didn't get on the list earlier, there are probably not any day olds available for the rarer breeds.

With my experience, order Dorkings in the fall,you'll get them in spring usually..... Their simply isn't enough breeders.
