Possible breeding program

I need some more dorking blood. Mine will be mostly white or colored dorking with white rock cross. Just hatched several. Im wondering if you are close enough to trade.

Or more accurately, if you would be willing to. Im in southern MO.

South central Kansas. My "Dorkings" are a multi-generational Dorking-Sussex cross, specifically bred for disease resistance.

If you're ever headed in this direction, maybe we could meet somewhere. Are you closer to Branson, or Poplar Bluff? Just to give me an idea of distances.

My old broody was confused about the new chicks. They're too old to bond with her, but she wants them. She'll go into their brooder and talk to them, but goes back to her own chicks each time, looking back like she expects the babies to follow.

When I first put them in the brooder it was closed, and she did a lot of pacing in front of it. Took her a day or two to figure out she couldn't get to them.
