Seller Profile

We breed and sell Red Dorking chickens, the most ancient of English breeds (first recorded c.AD43). We sell fertile eggs (£20 incl p&p), point-of-lay (POL) hens (£35 - collection only), stock cockerels (£35 - collection only) and breeding trios (£85 - collection only). We are a member of the Dorking Club and only sell birds that we would breed from ourselves. Red Dorking chickens are a quiet and friendly rare heritage breed that will make a fantastic addition to your family. They lay a good amount of large creamy white eggs throughout the year, including the winter months when many breeds stop laying. Red Dorking hens are very peaceful birds and ideally suited for small gardens with close neighbours. The Dorking is listed as a priority breed on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust watchlist, meaning that they are endangered. Buying from us will help preserve this rare breed for future generations. Their friendly, calm and stately manner make the Red Dorking a great smallholder or backyard chicken breed.
