    B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

    Does anyone have any use for three Dick Horstman SGD cockerels? They are SOOOOO sweet, they are shoulder chickens. Alas, I have decided not to do Dorkings any longer, and they will go in the freezer, regardless of their great personalities. I am at 72901.

    I actually have a roo that I am trying to place so that I can replace him with a Horstman youngster, if you might be interested in him.

    Haha, that guy. Pay him no mind, he obviously doesn't bother to understand his birds or to give them what they need in order to be productive...it's just "their fault" that they "aren't good enough." People like that tend to treat everyone that way, including humans. I would be VERY interested...

    Wow. I just received my eggs. It is Friday. I began calling to get some sort of confirmation of my shipment LAST FRIDAY. The eggs should have shipped Monday. On Wednesday, after receiving NO COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER, after leaving messages, emails, and texts, I gave up and set some...

    So...what the consensus on Dick Horstman's customer policy? Not impressed at all after receiving an order a full month before we agreed for it to be sent, so of course I wasn't prepared to set it and I went to complete waste. He now reuses to answer emails or return phone calls about this. I...

    Well, I wasn't actually going to address all of this, and for those who already brought the thread elsewhere, I apologize for the return, but the last statement tried a bit too hard to paint what I said as being some sort of personal attack, which I suppose it may have been misconstrued to be...

    B.Y.C. Dorking Club!

    I called and asked, but they (Murray) didn't seem able to figure out WHERE they came from, at all. The current owner bought the business 8 years ago. It seems that they should have record somewhere of where the SG Dorkings originated, but the little girl asked the owner and he said he didn't...

    Murray McMurray JUST changed the availability of the Silver grey Dorkings from "None at all this year," to "Available on April 1st." They also drop their minimum chick order to 15 after that date now. They will go fast. I just ordered 15 straight run myself, to increase my flock base. From what...

    Leg bands are way simpler. And removable. And cheaper. And pre-sized if you search ebay. and they don't mutilate your birds. Anyone who tells you that having metal punched through muscle tissue isn't painful has no compassion, whatsoever, nor have they ever spoken to shrapnel survivors.

    The dingbat I got them from stated that they were 10 months old when i bought them in December...but neither had reddened up, no laying, and not even a hint of crowing. I would have estimated them to be around 5 months, then, but I didn't have any Dorking experience prior to that. They are slow...

    he is feeling like about 8 lbs now, she is feeling like around 6 lbs. I don't have an accurate way to weight them atm, but they are just about the same size as a decent LF RIR, just low-slung and very rectangular rather than oval-shaped. their 5th toes aren't as well separated as I'd like, but...

    OK, my new pair has finally outgrown the damage done by their previous caretaker. How do they look? I couldn't get Deb to hold still for a full-body shot, but she does have nice carriage, a brick-shaped body, and stumpy little clean legs with 5 full toes one both feet. She started laying two...

    I'd really like to get some day-old Silver Greys from reputable lines. I currently have a pair and would like to expand my genetic base intelligently. If anyone has any, let me know. Thanks!
