Title: Silver Grey Dorking Cockerel
Post by: Jukes Mum on April 30, 2014, 12:50:27 pm

Hi All
I am looking for a new husband for my Silver Grey Dorking ladies. :love:
I am in North Yorkshire and work in West Yorkshire so ideally somewhere around here. I was hoping that there would be some at the York Rare Breeds sale last week, but not a single Dorking there!
I would happily go back to the breeder I bought the girls from but he does not have any which are unrelated.
If anyone knows of one, please can you let me know?
Many thanks

I am getting rather frantic in my search now! Seems that Dorkings are a rare breed for a reason! I have a meeting in Staffordshire next wek and Northampton the week after if anyone knows of anyone with Silver Grey Dorkings in that area? My fella wants us to change to a breed which is more 'readily available' but i love the Dorks  :(
