I think that is who TOL Chick got some of her birds from. She has that same auction or another one with similar birds every few days. I've been watching them to see if she has any others.

Those birds on eBay: my new favorite color!!! Looks like metallic shades of platinum, pewter and silver. Very pretty roosters.

Does anyone know the genes involved?

Teresa (the one whose action it is) told me that they go back to Sand Hill birds, and they are color variations from Colored Dorkings.

Anyone know what I will hatch? I have Silver Gray Dorking Roosters with Black Sex link and RIR hens. Any input?

Thanks! I sent them an email to find out where they got their original stock.

That hatchery finally got back to me. They are sold out of Dorkings this year and their original stock came from Cackle Hatchery.

I didn't know Cackle sold Dorkings.

I just ordered Red Dorking eggs from Dick Horstman.

I think he has silver greys too, for anyone else who's looking for them.
