B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

[Yellow House Farm]

I agree with you 100 percent Joseph. I purchased 2 trios of white Dorkings from Ed Hart last fall and have hatched a few chicks 65+. I have called Ed one than once to talk Dorkings and he is always willing to share information. He is a gentleman. My goal someday is to compete in the English class and work for that Best Large Fowl award.

That is simply excellent news!!!

These hens look like big, long deep bodied barges. Love seeing this.

10 new Silver Gray peeps the girls did good or should I say the Rooster did good!!

Love your description Dave. It really paints a picture of what a Dorking should look like.

The only thing I've showed are horses. So I would need some serious mentoring on how to groom

a chicken and how to keep them healthy while off the farm.

Sounds good, and I bet you has a bunch of stuff on show prepping.

Bachelor pen, two different breeding groups & ages. Hope to get a couple useable cockerels out of these guys.

Not the best picture...14 cockerels don't pose very well.

Do Dorkings tend to start laying eggs early? I only have three breeds that would produce a white egg. My Buttercups lay steady and it's always a tidy oblong egg. My Spitzhaubens are too young and that leaves the three Dorking mixes that I have. If I go off the age I was told when I got them..they would only be around 14 weeks. I keep finding one small egg shaped more like a turkey egg...but a lot smaller. It's white with a slight tint to it. Making me crazy.
The only other two that are at POL are both brown egg layers.
