Looks to be about 50/50 on the Dorkings, Jean... I'm jealous, but so happy for you.

Please don't worry about me. I will just wait until next Spring and order chicks. I have a note on Jan 1, 2009 to place order(s), and I'm still on the waiting list for some from Ideal come next spring. I am going to hatch out what I've already committed to (hopefully) and then be done with shipped eggs. The PO is just too rough on them, or they're just way too sensitive.

Jean, scroll all the way to the bottom... there's an example of color sexing there.

The dark striped head is the pullet.

Thanks everyone I was really happy with these last two hatches. The best part is that these were all from local eggs. No shipping the chicks you see cost me $6 for the eggs. Makes ya sick hey. I am on hold for hatchig right now, I have people begging me to hatch for them but it will have to wait. Sometime in the next 2 months I will be leaving for a 2 week stay in SC. When I come back look out hatching here we come. LOL

Thanks again.
