Last I talked to Craig Russel, about a month ago, he told me he had stopped raising Dominiques in large quanities & for sale in 1999. He has since concentrated on saving the Dorkings.

I am new to trying to sex these babies but I made a stab at it with the help of an friend of mine that raises another barred breed. Large spot male, small spot or none female right????? I hope so I banned them all right after hatch & fluff up, before I put them in the brooder. We will see...

We are ALWAYS doing creative rearranging..........LOL I sooooooooo know how that goes. I am excited about the Dom eggs & got a email yesterday about the B/W AMs pair I have for sale & it turned out to be the person that had bought that pair of Dominiques that I missed out on...Small world we...

I missed out on a Craigslist ad selling a pair of SQ Dominiques. They had already been promised to someone else but the owner was kind enough to offer to collect eggs for me. So yesterday I was hand delivered 15 Dominique eggs brought by a BYC friend that saved me the 2 hour trip to pick them up...

Thank you so much I called & left a message.

Hello everyone, I live in California & have been trying to get Dominiques going since last year. I was able to hatch 3 chicks from a shipped egg order from a private breeder & kept the best 2 for a pair. Everything else I tried was unsuccessful. An Oregon breeder was trying to help me by...

Does anyone know how to contact Greg Russel. He has been recommended to me by a local 4H leader as a good source for Dominiques. Thanks Karen in California

Quote: Walltenters..................I tried to send the pictures you wanted but your inboxis full.....LOL

Quote: Well thank you. That is better than the original guesstimation of all males......LOL. I received another dozen hatching eggs in the mail that will go into the incubator soon. Maybe I can get a few more girls out of this batch....

Quote: Thanks..I guess we just have to wait & see anyway. I will be hatching more soon.

Quote: Congratulations............It's such a nice feeling to know you have a good shot at great birds. Good Luck with your hatch.

I lost this thread for awhile. Don't know how I do that. A computer Geek I am NOT. Niether am I a photographer. I tried taking a few shots of my 3 chicks a few minutes ago & they are awful. I am using a point & shoot that I can actually use, but will take better pictures when my husband gets up...

Quote: Thank you that will be so helpful. With my luck I will have all 3 cockerels after only getting 3 chicks out of a dozen shipped eggs.........LOL I went to the County 4H poultry show this morning & there was not 1 Dominique there. The same way with the big show in stocktona couple of...

Quote: Depending on the strain, Dominique can sometimes be sexed as newly hatched chicks by their leg color; pullets have darker legs and toes, males are clear of the black or "sootiness". Or you can tell by the spot on their head; a smaller, more concentrated spot is a pullet, while a larger...

I put an ad up on the auction to try to trade some hatching eggs.

Quote: Usually for that type it's at least three weeks. Combs will be turning pink in the males and you'll really start to see that the females are darker overall. The legs in these throw me off, because they all look the same - good news for you, because later the girls should have a nice...

I tried shipped Dominique eggs. I was hoping my new Brinsea would make the difference in a successful hatch but alas only 3 out of a dozen hatched. On my Marans they can take extra days to hatch so I will hold them an extra day or two but I don't know if that works the same with this breed. This...

Quote: I bought Silkies as broody hens & they are great at it. I do most of my own incubation now with my new big incubator but was tired of less than satisfactory hatches with my old method and bought the silkies as a back up. They love to set eggs.....LOL
