The Dorking Poll

[briesberrypatch]

I'm looking for Dorking eggs or chicks - any color except white.

I'm guessing that the white Dorkings are Joseph's.

Please correct me if it was someone else! Who has colored & cuckoo???

If you responded to the poll, please email or PM me!

Thanks so much!

I have 1 RC colored & 4 black chicks, they came in a mix for the 4h kids, and no one wanted the dorkings so I'm raising them,

Renee my eggs are almost white to tinted. The White Dorkings eggs were slightly darker than the Colored's.

Cool, Tonya! Mine go out early next week... I ordered both white & colored.

I have RC colored dorkings, 2 mature males and 2 mature females from Sandhill, last summer. For the last 3 weeks, I have 1 of the dorking roosters with all the hens (blue orpingtons, golden laced wyandottes and dorkings).

All of the other roosters are together in another house. I don't have both dorking roosters with the hens because 1 dorking rooster put the hurts on the other one.

In about another week, I am going to put the other dorking rooster in with the hens and his brother and see what happens for a few days. Then I am going to separate the dorking hens, so I can get their eggs for hatching.

We have immediate plans for a larger poultry house, so we can separate all 3 of our breeds and for food storage. Would be interested in getting some other colored dorkings to expand my blood lines.

Am currently incubating some b/b/s orpington eggs from another BYC member. Don't know how this will turn out because of disrupted air sacs but are doing our best.

Am from SE OHIO.

Excellent thread! I voted, "I would like Dorkings."
This will definitely help with the preservation of the breed, thumbs-up to you Dorking mad people!
