Ran across a better sideview 19 week pullet AND a 12 week cockeral

How old is he? I'm thinking longer and most definately lower? Is he your only male?

Predators are the "wildcard" for sure. Best laid plans and all that!

I love that picture -- look at that low tailset. Wonder if his is on center?

Add some geese (15 or so) in that mix, chickens that hop fences to roam 10 acres and you'd like to pull your hair out sometimes. But then everybody comes back to eat and roost and all hell breaks loose. Its 100 degrees and hormones are raging and heat strokes are eminent. Hatchet anybody? My mom...

Aveca, could you elaborate on your "birds of paradise example" or point me to the thread where this is discussed? I was just rereading some of YHF posts from 2011 on the dorking thread where he advised growing out cockerals and pullets separate. You never know the wisdom of those words until...

This is a pullet from Rudy -- fall hatch. Sorry for the pic that doesn't show type, but it will show color. The cock didn't make trip ;-(

Is this a more "correct" color salmon?

yes, but look at that TYPE on those first two cocks -- WOWZA!! SO NICE! That's what I'm talkin about!

Here are a couple of the SG pullets from McMurray. Sorry for the crummy photos. I took them for "visual", not chicken U.

I'll be honest, at this stage I'm more concerned about the type over color. She does seem to have some sort of dark modifier for sure compared to some young red pullets I have. I"m pretty sure she was ordered as "red" from Sandhill, but that could mean anything. Lays a nice white egg though and...

And a red hen while we wait on more pics:

Thank you Miss Kim! Here are his siblings for comparison. I fully intend to get bands on them this week. Other than the "flat" tail guy above, they look kindof similar although one has a wider back and breast (at this point).

I forgot to mention how excited I am that you guys are FINALLY on dorkings !! I've learned a lot from the other breeds you've talked about and appreciate a thread like this so very much. Thank you for taking time to do this. It is very helpful. I have pictures of the other cockerals, but I'm...

Hi everyone. I'm a complete newcomer to dorkings and took a shotgun approach to try and get decent "beginnings" of breeder stock with eggs and chicks from a couple different sources. My youngest group are 3 week old Troxel reds and the oldest group is the hatchery silver grey dorkings (sgd)...
