I like this illustration, and your description.

Nice width from front through to the tail. This is what you want. This is something that is desirable all breeds. It is obvious from the photo that this is a bird of great substance.

We have discussed the problem that this bird has previously in this thread, as just about every breed shown can exhibit this. What is it?

Females: All of these are my birds. Typical hatchery bird. looks like a Barred Rock with a rose comb. Note type is everything with Dominiques. One should be able to pick a Dominique out of a flock based on type alone. This bird is overweight, 6.5 lbs, Standard calls for 5 lbs for hens...

Does her comb have an inverted spike(leader)?
