I am having the SHAKES

I have been hatching since day before yesterday, first the "Mystery ducks" then a couple Ex Leghorns and BLRW and some W/BW Am, and I have 2 more pipped and waiting on 5 (come on Coros!) these are the eggs that went in a couple of days before the power went out so of the ones that made it, some are a day late and they are Driving me Crazy!! I'm supposed to be asleep but I keep getting up to check the bator, I don't want to miss anything !! (Thank goodness I'm off tonight!)
I just put some mixed colors guineas, somemore W/BW Am and some Polish in yesterday and I am looking at the 24 hr auction thread. Help ME!! I don't need any NEW breeds, repeat it with me! I dont need any new breeds!!

Thank you my friends, I feel much better.

Now I'm off to check the Auction page, good thing I'm not into silkies.

THe dorkings are an old rare breed, Karen has been working with them. Very few dorkings left. IDK if this is a pic--waiting for conformation.

yes. if you look in the background, the darker ones are probably colored dorking, and there's a silver grey roo behind the sg girl in the front.
guessing from comb development they're probably 6-8 months old. where did you find that pic? they're not my birds, but look very close. i actually prefer the darker coloring of the girl in the foreground, as opposed to some lighter versions like this girl i got from sandhill preservation center. then again she's only maybe 12 weeks old now.

yes. awesome foragers. i've got 26 acres, i'd say they range over about 2 acres.
here's a satellite photo of the property

the red circle is about the range of the dorkings.
edited to update the pic.
