I totally have Dominiques. Unfortunately, I can't spare any chicks right now. I am building up my flock after having to depopulate completely last year. I don't even have hatching eggs right now as everything is trying to go broody. I will have birds later in the summer or in the fall when I figure out who my breeders are going to be next year.

If I remember correctly my barred NN's are barred from dominiques.

A barred rock has a crisp black and white barring. A barred rock also has a straight comb. A Dominique has a smuttier, slate blue on dove gray barring with a rose comb. I suspect what you have there has some cuckoo marans or dominique genetics in the not too distant past.

Lynn,

 

How are you?

 

yeah,  I have a problem area way out back that is overgrown with weeds.  I have a hen house that I can convert easily enough for a pair of goats and I need their help with the weeds.  If you don't think they'll be an escape risk, I think I might look for a pair pygmies.  Do you know who might have some for sale at a reasonable price?

Also, Privett Hatchery in New Mexico has some decent Doms as far as hatcheries go.

I thought those looked like NN Doms with the comb!

I would only do fainting goats, if you are wanting to aviod escapes. They don't jump or escape (unless there is a hole). Pygmys will escape by jumping-- but I'd you insist on pygmys mike has a very cute pair running around with their momma, sure he would sale them. They were adorable!!! Only a wk old at most.
My fainting goats are much better behaved than my boers. DH is ready to butcher the boers but they are DD "pets" so that won't happen.

Our goats have close to an acre fenced in the woods. The 5 of them cleared it out in a few wks. May just want to borrow a few goats.
