Dominique Thread!

I believe my three week old chicks are going to be 1 roo and 2 hens based on barring and light/dark color. Can anyone confirm from these photos?

One more of the one I believe is a roo.

This chick appears to have a wild-type / straight comb.

What does that mean? Think I may not have a Dom?

It just means you have a Dom that does not meet the definition of a Dom. Both of its parents were, at best, heterozygous for the rose comb gene, and you got one that popped out with a single comb.

So where are the bantam breeders? Just seeing who all is here. Still working on getting some up here.

I should end up with two to three lines of Dominiques this Spring/Summer. But, all large fowl.

Yep....I totally lost my mind this year... It isn't a first time either

I keep thinking I should start a " I lost my mind thread" but then I might end up just talking to myself

I am SUPER excited though

LOL.

WE had 92% fertility on the current batch of eggs in the incubator, all but 2 started. Threw out 9 total of 41. Of the 32 eggs remaining in the incubator, 3 probably won't hatch, the others are looking pretty good.

Waiting to hear from my niece in SW Washington on the condition of the eggs that were delivered to her this morning via FedEx......
