The Silver Grey Dorking is a true legend of the poultry world. With a history tracing back to the Roman Empire, they are one of the oldest and most respected heritage breeds. Known for their unique rectangular bodies and short legs, they are as productive as they are beautiful.
 
Why the Silver Grey Dorking belongs in your flock:
 
Quiet & Docile: Dorkings are famously calm and gentle birds. Their sweet disposition makes them a favorite for families and a breeze to handle in the show ring.
The Rare "Fifth Toe": Like our Salmon Faverolles, Dorkings are one of the very few breeds that feature five toes.
Superior Table & Egg Quality: Historically prized by chefs for their fine-textured white meat, they are also consistent layers of large white to creamy-white eggs.
Conservation Importance: Listed as a "Threatened" breed by The Livestock Conservancy, choosing Dorkings helps preserve a vital piece of agricultural history.
Exhibition Potential: Our Silver Grey Dorkings are bred from quality stock, making them excellent candidates for Juniors and FFA members looking for a unique exhibition project.
