They look great even the homely one lol!!

We got them them on the 23rd of April and they are growing well and beautiful. You can give me a call when you are ready and come take a look at them. They are quite characters. I want to keep two because I have no roosters for my dorkings right now but I have 5 total and would rather find them...

I have extra roosters that I got from Dick Horstman. I am keeping two but I think I have 3 others that you can look at and choose from if you want.

That's why this year I decided to put the brooders in the greenhouse. Since I will be in the greenhouse a lot this spring summer and fall I figured while they are still too little to be outside with the big chickens they can practice their skills inside the greenhouse without getting hurt. I...

They are adorable! I can't wait until mine get big enough to be out of the brooder for a while. I think they learn more having time outside then being in a brooder. Such a big adventure.

Had to post a picture or two of my new babies. The greenhouse is coming in really handy. I can work on my plants and have my baby chicks in the same space so I can keep an eye on them. I ordered 12 one came with both knees bloody and pretty useless. She is refusing to eat or drink even with...

Thank you I miss him and the girls really are missing him too. I do have a back up rooster but he was my favorite.

Had a horrible weekend. I got a call at work that my Dorking rooster was found outside on Saturday sopping wet and not moving. He passed later that evening. We are thinking that he was hanging out under the eaves of the house and the ice and snow fell off the roof and hit him. It's the only...

Wow that's super scary. I live in VT and we don't have many snakes that are venomous here but we do have tons of other predators. Here are some pictures of my boys and girls from this year. These are my girls from this year. They are sweet. There are 5 girls and...

Okay so finally got some downtime and fixed the fencing and got some pictures of my brood so far. Hen Number 1 of my adults hiding in the bushes My main rooster Trouble. I love how he looks. He is about a year and a half right now. My second hen from my adults. She didn't want...

I keep all my chicks until they grow out or find homes no matter if they are mixed breed or purebred. The mixed breeds, if they are girls are offered up for layers for those looking to replenish their coops. Some will pick them up as babies others will wait until they grow out a bit so they can...

I do sell my culls from both my Dorkings and my Brahmas and I will also sell my mixed breed chicks as well, but the people that I sell them to (as stated above) are more looking for a large breed layer that lays decently and does well in cold weather. Another big selling point even for the culls...

Hoping to get some pictures of my babies to show off tomorrow been working 12 hour shifts and been super busy since the 4th. I see some that have really great potential but not sure. Wish I could snap my fingers and make them grow up so I could know which babies I should keep and which should...

I did order some australorps from them and they are amazing birds, but I was hesitant to order Dorkings because I was worried about getting stuck with birds that I would just have to get rid of due to poor quality. Might be another case of a hatchery that is good for common birds but not so good...

So my trio started having fertile eggs around end of April beginning of May. Since then I hatched everything I could out of their eggs (about 3 dozen eggs) and out of the ones I put in the incubator I had 12 total hatch. One died about a week and a half after hatch. No idea why. All of the other...

Two babies I hatched out on the 20th. So far my roosters and hens seem to make very correct babies. Loving what I am seeing.

Our only Dorking hatchling so far. Just moved her to the brooder this morning. I am hoping her anyway. What do you guys think?

That's what I am hoping for. I want the birds to be loving and trusting not to run when I come in the room lol. Interesting that you got an even mix like that. I think they have trouble telling the girls from the boys. I ordered all boys and have only about 8 boys and the rest are all girls lol...

Mine are getting treats and fermented feed and they will approach the feed when I put it in the dish but absolutely do not want me to pick them up or carry them at all. All my chickens are very people friendly so I guess I am just not used to this. I will have to win them over with better food I...

I just had to share for others who order from Murray McMurray Hatchery. I ordered an order of 25 Silver Gray Dorking roosters from them, because I was light in the rooster area since my dorking hens were having problems laying fertile eggs. They sent me money back saying they could only give me...
