Dominique Breed Page

[NateDomRIR]

I'm new here and to chickens. I am searching for Dominique info and for others that have them that might be of help, BUT, no info and no Dominique breeders list. I was collecting names of members having them, IF they displayed their signiture as having them, but it is very time consuming. So I totally agree that we need BREED PAGES and somehow could group members that have them be in their somehow? It would be very helpful to newbies like myself. I am willing to help but like I said "I'm pretty new to chickens", but I do have a little experiece hatching emu and ostrich.

I do not have any Dominiques, but hope to one day. I have this book which is all about Dominiques (it is a great book):

I sent Mark Fields (the author) a check and asked him if he had any books left to mail me one & he did.

Bryan K. Oliver in South Carolina breeds Dominiques and is Secretary of the Dominique Club:

Also, at home I have Breeder Directories for both the American Livestock Breeder Conservancy (ALBC- http://www.albc-usa.org/ ) & Society for the Preservation of Poultry Antiquities (SPPA- http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/SPPA/SPPA.html) (I am at work), and there are a number of Dominique breeders listed-- I'll be happy to PM you with some contact information if you would like.

our very favorite chicken of all time was a dominique- I would love to get my hands on some more- we adored "Zipper"

I have one dom. She is about 5-6 months old. No egg yet.

Sorry the pic sucks. I noticed that some breed pages on this site are good, describe standard and what not, but others are just pictures.

Mine were hatchery chickens (meyershatchery.com)
Great chickens got most of their food foreging! very friendly!

This is my dominique roo (herbie) I have two hens also. I will probably put them in the breeding pen in the spring. I wasn't sure how much interest there would be in them.

Shack and Daycaremom...You both have great looking roos. I wish I had studied up on the breed before I chose my roo. I chose him because of his great size and he kicked his other two brothers butts, I think he killed one of them. I also have a trio. My first spring with chickens. I am building a small shed (hatchery) and I have almost designed my incubator. I get 1-2 egg per day from my Dominiques. I really would like to trade some eggs with someone just so I can have different genetics.
Here are mine ,

My Delawares are laying 1-2 per day also so I could trade 3 Doms and 3 Dels to ANYONE, next week. Monday will be 3 weeks since they've been separated by breed.
here's my Dels,

I am new to Dominiques and would love to learn more about the from other that have them. Thanks, sorry this is so long.

Anyone have hatching eggs to swap?

 

[GardienneWings]

I LOVE my Doms!! They were my first breed and have remained my favorite!

I will have some eggs later in the year, right now I have orders for chicks waiting.
