Occasionally get them. Seem to come from the Urch line in my birds.

I never did get any birds from Urch, I always thought his looked good.

Nice looking cockrell.

Anyone know of a Dominique breeder in the Carolinas or Georgia?

A picture would be helpful, so thanks for posting. I have 2 Swedish Flower Hens, too, and their eggs are almost identical to my Dom eggs. (My Dom eggs are pretty much like the SFH eggs in your pic.) I can usually tell them apart, though, because the SFH eggs are slightly more pointed and a touch glossier. Ahh, egg variation is just one of the delights of chicken keeping, isn't it?!

Are these eggs from Nantahala Farms Doms? Can you post a pic of your SFH eggs and Dom eggs together please? Thanks!

My SFH eggs are a cream/bisque color (like fired clay before you glaze it). I need Dom eggs that are brown if they are to be my main breed (hubby requirement) - though I would be happy with the occasional pinkish egg too! I love the color of my Marans eggs and newly laying Welsumer but I want a friendlier breed going forward.

These brown are my Marans eggs, the whitish are the SFH and the pale blue is from a Cream Legbar (not up to standard though, I have 2 others that lay a better blue).
