Hi there
I am amazed by this. Dorkings while nothing like a production red, does lay rather well. About 4-5 times a week.
It really is a mixed bird i.e. cockerels make great chicken dinners, hens lay well up until moult. As for the size of
the egg, that was because they are new layers. Over time they will get better. I had them, sold them this morning
actually which is why I noticed the "old" thread, and they were easy going, pleasant birds. Actually the women who
bought the 4 of them wanted that and so I recommended them to her. I'm not getting any more because no one
wanted "white" eggs because they felt they were "store bought".
Warmly,
Lilly, USA

I have a few Silver Dorkings. Silver laced or whatever it is. I am not happy with them.This year they started laying in the spring. The eggs are white and about 3/4 size. More like what you get in the store.
