When we had a Dom we got her as a lone chick - we wanted two - but only one was available. She was a pistol for a chick, climbed all over us, sat on our shoulder, picked at our hair, explored our eyeglasses, slept in the palm of our hands or on our arm, slept on the computer keyboard (it was warm), took her first dust bath in a hair-net left on the table, and generally was a very very active chick. She hated to be alone in her kennel and screamed bloody murder if we walked out of her room so we had to let her follow us around the house - flock bird mentality I guess. Sadly we lost her to a sudden seizure out of the blue so we never got to realize her adult personality but Dom show breeders assured me the same temperament is in the adults - busy, outgoing, people-friendly, inquisitive, forward, unafraid. I long for another Dom but have met my yard limit for the time being. Our Breda's temperament is akin to a Dom and if we replenish any lost hens it will be with good-tempered Bredas and Doms. My DH loves his Silkies so we have to have LF that are good flockmates with Silkies. Our Blue Wheaten Ameraucana is the sweetest most timid breed we've had and a good flockmate but she is extraordinarily noisy during her egg cycles and embarrasses us with the neighbors.
Hatched mine- only had 3 eggs and only 1 of those hatched. At least she seems to be a girl, and I had another breed hatch so she's not lonely.
