Any clue what’s wrong with Cupcake? She is a 3yr old female Dominique chicken. Today she was drinking water, and stood next to the water bowl with her beak open. I picked her up and white fluid started coming up her throat. I put her down and she shook her head and the white fluid dribbled down...
Hello, I'd like to know if anyone here has experience with both of these breeds: Icelandic and Dominique.
Based on what I've been reading, they share a lot of the positive things that I'm looking for, but I'm having a hard time choosing which breed to go with. Based on my list below, which...
I have a Dominicker rooster that has yet to crow. We bought him in April and it looks like he’s full grown, being that he is only slightly smaller than my older girls, but he hasn’t crowed at all yet? Is it still too early? He had the feathering of a male bird.

Hey! First time with Dominiques. I have 2, both at 16 weeks, and one is started to look a bit cockerel. Hoping I'm wrong and it is a big beautiful girl. They both have identical feathering but the faces are... a bit different. Are these side things sign of a rooster? When they were little they...

I recently left city life & corporate America after 20+ years and moved to rural southeast Missouri, to restart/rebuild the family farm where my dad grew up. I got my first chickens --4 Dominique hens and a Rooster--from Cackle Hatchery in June 2019. I thought I might expand the flock in 2020...
Hey guys!
My name is Alisha and I am a proud new mom to 6 Dominique baby chicks. I’ve never owned chickens before so I am looking for advice to ensure they live their best spoiled lives. Right now I am keeping them in my home to ensure their safety from predators since I do live in the country...
