Thanks so much for your efforts.

Of course! If you can't find any I might be willing to part with one or two of mine, they were hatched around December 15th, I'm in elkview

If all else fails, I may take you up on that...Thanks again.

I have Chantecler and Dark Cornish (LF) and I want to incorporate the Dominiques into a strain of White Chanties/DC/Doms for meat birds...We caponize and poulardize for exquisite flavor and to be able to keep the birds 'on the hoof' so they can continue to get more flavorful without sitting in a freezer. If it comes to it...perhaps I can trade you a White Chanteclere or some combination of birds, depending upon what you have to offer...Or cash will work.

Interesting! I don't know anything about meat birds, I want to get into it someday, but I'm not set up just yet for it. I love trading especially if it means a new breed and new things to learn!

These babies are from 1/18. Less than 2 week old Dominiques and already tons of feathers. Pics are from friday and saturday.

Here is a website that has some photos to help you determine sex.

With the wing feathers already coming in, some should clearly be darker than others. Darker = female.


Are they pure Dominique?

Yes, they are from Heritage Dominique eggs I got from MPC.

DD is stuck home with strep throat today, so she decided to start training her chicken. Both did very well. In about 8min, "Bubbles" learned to consistently peck at the red target chip & not peck at the distraction white target chip. She surpassed "Cuddles" on her 1st attempt, so it looks like Bubbles will be an excellent candidate for DD's project.
