Dominique Thread!

here is her head

Yup, that's a straight comb.

Barred rock then huh?

 

[DraigAthar]

Or a mutt. You can put a barred rooster over lots of different breeds of hen and wind up with barred chicks. It's a sex-linked dominant gene, it's super-easy to build a barred chicken.

Barred rock then huh?

I think so.

Also, it is hard to tell in the picture, since she is bending down, but it looks like she has a barred rock tail, not a Dominique tail.

OK, I need help.

I have joined the Dominique Club, and looked through the breeders list...

Most don't ship, eggs or chicks, and most do not have websites, so I can't look at their birds.

Soooo........

Can anyone recommend a breeder that will ship me eggs or chicks next spring? (And remember, I do live in Alaska....but I have ordered chicks from big hatcheries in the past)

I want some Dominique's that LOOK like Dominiques and also lay well, and have human non-aggressive roosters.

I really want the eggs or chicks next spring.....

Any suggestions?

Try this link
http://www.rightpet.com/livestock-poultryprovider/breeders/dominique-chicken, maybe someone on there ships eggs.
Are you not happy with the birds from the hatcheries, most of them will ship Dom chicks as well.

What about ordering a trio of started youngsters or even adult birds? Yes, it's expensive, but you know *exactly* what you're getting when you open the box. (as opposed to waiting four to six months for chicks to mature)

that is a good idea....but I just think it would be harder for started or adult chickens to make it up here. Also, I really wanted more than three.

But, it is a good option to consider. Thanks.
