No, I only have 2 red dorking hens. I had my red dorking rooster die a couple of days ago. I am trying to get a flock going so then I will be able to help you and others in the future. This is a breed I am very interested in helping to save.

Have you tried ebay? I bought 12 red & 12 colored. She sent 30 & we hatched 4 red, 2 light grey & 1 dark one. Looks like 1 red is male, so hopefully we can start breeding soon. Not the hatchrate I would've liked, but at least it's a start. My son decided to save the Dorking too!

Hi, I had a posting from a guy who had white. He was in NH and only sold 12 chicks at a time and didn't mail. I personally don't want 12, but come spring next year I might make the drive. It's six hours away.

Anyhow, if the rooster died a couple of days ago wouldn't the eggs still be fertile for awhile? I would think at least a couple of days right? I'd like to know for my own information anyhow. Thanks

I also am looking for these birds. I recieved an order in feb. for 2 female/ 1 male silver grey dorkings from murry mcmurry. I lost 1 male and 1 female shortly after they arrived. I like the one I have left and would love to breed them but, like you, I am having a hard time finding them. I was on a waiting list for about 4 months to get the last three and they probably wont have any more until next spring. One day I will have a flock of these........

She is a pretty one

Yes, I have bought the eggs on ebay before but was looking for day old chicks since the hatch rate is so low on shipped eggs.

I'm having the same problem with silkies. At this point I'd be willing to take a major roadtrip to get what I'm looking for.
