Dorkings

[chickenman1962]

Hello,
I'm trying to locate hatching eggs or chicks for show quality Silver Grey Dorkings. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Kind regards,
Kevin

Check out Mr Horstman's dorkings (both red and silver) at http://www.horstmanspoultry.com/
My discussions with him indicated he'd prioritize chick orders over hatching eggs requests, though eggs were generally available later in the season.

Sent him an email, but no reply yet. Would like to find other lines as well, so I can compare type.

Murray McMurray has them...

I bought my Silver Grey Dorkings from Murray McMurray, but they're not exactly show quality, more commercial hatchery quality. Fine if you're looking for a fancy meat bird (I hear they are the best tasting chicken you can grow) but not something you'd want to show off.

Yes, but finding them at all seems to be the problem. I did order some from Sandhill, reds and colored...but can't seem to locate 'show quality'....so will have to work with what I can get...and they are also going to be 'meat birds'....
