Murray McMurray Hatchery carries the Polish and the Silver Grey Dorkings.
Call for a catalog.
1-800-456-3280.  There are maximum limits on their rare breed chickens, even
though there are minimum required purchases.  Weird.  Best to go in with a
friend who wants some standard birds, unless you want 25 at a time.

FYI, take it from me, you will NEVER hear the end of it from your friends if
you keep Dorkings.
