Dominecker or BarredRock

[Mister B]

I have never owned a chicken before. A guy sold me this rooster and 4 hens that all look relatively the same. He said they were Domineckers. When I started looking into it, I think the rooster may be Barred Rock. Can you help me out? If you can see the hens and can get an idea, let me know as well.

From what I can gather... Barred Rocks have a single comb and a Dominque has a rose comb.

Your boy is a barred rock. Many people dont know that there is a difference and its is the comb. I have the dominque and have been looking for more but people keep trying to get me to purchase the Barred saying they are Doms. Hes really purdy.

Thank you. I'll tell him you said so. He is also BIG. But he seems to be a gentle giant. I have picked him up a couple times without being clawed to death. He scared me at first, but I think he will be ok. I'm waiting for eggs from my girls, now.
