Dominique Thread!

[Sylvester017]

@Sylvester017
At a glance, those Doms look like females. Is that what you planned?

Abso-tively! Posi-lutely! I specifically ordered female pullets -- they all have the tiny white dot on the head and dark legs/toes down the front. I picked them up Friday from Wes's Pet & Feed a couple hours after he received the Privett USPS shipment.

This is the noisiest one, she is so spoiled she only quiets down when I hold her or let her walk around the laptop. I'm not crazy about raising chicks but it's easier w/ several chicks together than when I tried raising one lone Dom chick a couple yrs ago:

If she's not lonely, then why is she playing solitaire?

Good point @Faraday40

I got these 2 Doms in my Cackle Hatchery Surptise Box. I'm not sure if they are pullets or cockerels. Help please! 8 weeks old.

Huh.......

By color I would say female....but then why does the one on the left already have a pink comb???

Odd...

I am now corn-fuzzeled

Better question is "why are the toes black?"

Better question is "why are the toes black?"

I know, I am perplexed as well. From what I read, this chick is giving me very mixed signals!!

 

[holm25]

MCD are those hatchery birds or breeder birds? Hatchery I assume?

I, being too lazy to open the standards book setting, next to me,,,,Think maybe the toes are just a dusky yellow, I forget right now if dusky yellow is allowed or not..

And if you're not showing, who cares?

 

[MontanaChickDoc]

Yes, Cackle - part of a Surprise Box. No no, not showing but I already have more roosters than I know what to do with!
