Bubbles thinks Hank is a handsome guy.
I'd like to introduce to you Hank Wllieggs, Sr. He was my Mystery Chick this June from Murray MacMurray Hatchery. So he's about 18 weeks old now, but this pic was taken a couple of weeks ago. I'm thrilled to have him. He's crowing already and it's the cutest little crow ever!!
I'm liking this breed a lot. This is my second year raising chickens and I'm thinking I'll be getting some more Dominiues in my next order for sure!! I started out loving the feather footed breeds, and absolutely love Langshans. But of the non-feather footed breeds, I'm thinking of sticking to Easter Eggers and Dominiques.
I can't wait to get some more Dominiques, and if anyone has any HATCHING EGGS of better than hatchery quality eggs they'd be willing to sell/ship, please let me know, as I'd love to hatch my own!
Thank you! And I hope you like Hank as much as I do. I can't wait to see him fully feathered as he shows signs of having beautiful saddle and hackle feathers.

We had a sweet EE roo that would jump into our arms when we opened the brooder. As he got older, he was still the 1st to greet us, but was more interested in treats. He even tolerated my daughter playing dress up. He never challenged. (Occasionally stopped in front of us to hold ground until we got near, then moved aside to avoid getting stepped on.) He was still sweet at 14 mo, but he crowed all the time & mated all 10 hens bald. For those reasons we gave him away. Still miss him, but the hens were happy when he left.
