I'll try to take a picture similar to yours. White carton, with the Wheaten eggs.

Top Left-->Red Dorking Bottom Left -->Silver Penciled Rock Middle -->Ameracaunas Top Right -->Jersey Giants Bottom Right --> Wheaten Marans So I can assume that I am not crazy, and those eggs are in fact light brown, dark cream.

Pick out the pair of dorking eggs.

Here are some of my Red's

hmmm.. Mine are a very light brown, and I have 2 laying now.....not leghorn white

What color are you eggs.

I was thinking that they were orp/rock cross with something actually.

Mine were both large framed (8-9 pounds at 24 weeks, very sturdy. One was light grey with leakage on the back. The other was almost partridge in spots, with grey (Blue coloring) throughout. I might have pictures, but got rid of both. My Dorking roos are also study, 7-8 pounds probably.

That explains my 2 packing peanut cockerels. They were big and healthy, but not purebreds. That crossing would explain the coloring. Thanks, Framac

Thanks, so probably 3-4 more weeks. Just curious what others you got from him. I got 3 packing peanuts, 1 hen, a SP rock and she gave me the first egg yesterday.

Does anyone who has Horstman Reds know how long until they begin to lay. Mine are about 6 months old and no eggs yet. Regards, Framac

You might want to try getting chicks shipped from Mr Horstman.... I got 12, and 11 are doing great...

I got 5 cockerels, and 6 pullets of the 11 that are left. Framac

Has anyone besides me got any Red chicks from Dick this year? How are they growing? I got 12, and they are coming along nicely. One died at 3 days, but the other 11 are growing wonderful. 2 will be culled (1 with 4 toes not 5, 1 with not toes nail on one toe). I am hoping to keep 4...

Sorry to hear. I had to wait over a month extra to get them. Now tell me, if the parents were having fertility issues, might the chicks? Framac

How many did you get and where did they come from?

Thanks, I looked at the photo on the feathersite, and I must say I am concerned. I am guessing that this will not hold true, but if it did, I have 11 female and no males. They ALL had the well defined stripes.

can you tell a difference between pullets and cockerels in young red dorkings?

The 11 are doing great, got some pasty butt that I am dealing with, but otherwise all is well. I am feeding the 12th by syringe with electrolytes hoping it pulls through. Framac
