What kind of Dorkings?

Welcome over.

They are white. Although the seller said he has been getting 10% or so hatching grey. (Not sure about dorking genetics...

) All parents are white. It was all I could find in the VA area and her dad is coming out in a month and a half to pick them up, so white/grey it is! They have some cool looking ones on some hatchery pages but they are all sold out for the year. I like hatching and my daughter thought it would be cool to have "her" chickens here and some there...so dorkings we hatch!

Hello everyone!!! I am now joining this group because my bator hatch is this week and on Sunday I pick up some dorking eggs to start next week sometime for my daughters dad. If I can find some Delaware hatching eggs in the next week those might get tossed in to bc he wants both. (So far no luck finding someone in central/east va with some!) Anyhow.. will post updates next week once I get my hatch done and the dorkings started. (What a name..Dorkings...

I love my Dorkings! They are wonderful birds. They are sexable at hatch which is great as knowing gender is second in anticipation only to how many hatch!

Are you getting red or Silver? Ours are Silver grays.

She was young here and never camera shy!
