forest of dean redneck 11,722 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Dorking was supposed to be a decent eating bird in olden times,but a poor layer,I suppose it fell out of fashion with the quick growing modern birds. Brahma large fowl I think are slow growing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mole trapper 1,694 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 My first thought was kylie minogue, I could certainly eat that! But now I understand the question. This year we did day old Hubbard's, Ross Dobbs, our own Hubbard x ixworths. All were very good, Hubbard being the best. We don't do Indian game anymore, too much dark meat. Cyril basin is the company we get day olds from, but they sell other ages too, and they deliver, or if you only want a few you could meet the driver somewhere on his round. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
