I have 1 Dorking Hen and 1 Dorking Rooster
I braught the hen as a chick last summer at the flea market and now she's laying.. i got the rooster about 4 months ago and they stay out in the yard and roost up at night i lock all my chickens up at night.. well anyways i didn't know my Dorking hen was laying till about 2 months ago when i spent the night at the farm house and when i got up i went out back to let the chickens out and a hour later after i let the Dorking hen out she came running out of a bush cackling and i found her nest it had 11 eggs in it..
well i knew they weren't fertile cuz she fights the rooster..lol
everytime he gets close to her she fights him away and he is so scared of her
and i wanted her to have some babies or at least lay fertile eggs for me to incubate but she wont
and the funny thing about it is ( she wont let the Dorking rooster near her but she always trys to let the BIG RIR rooster mate with her.) lol and that rooster is like 5 times her size i watch them one day and the RIR rooster tryed to mate with her but he's so big he couldn't even stand on her..lol
