More about Dorking Chickens
Character & features
The five-toed foot is one of the Dorking’s distinctive breed features. When selecting birds, consider the adult body and the purpose of the group as well as the colour variety.
Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
Suitability & care
Prepare dry, comfortable bedding and check that perches and entrances suit a substantial bird. Keep enough room for quieter birds to reach food without competition.
Plan a flock around adult size, space and the balance of hens and cockerels. Have shelter, feed and fresh water ready before the birds arrive. Our chicken house and run guide helps you prepare the setup.
