Dominique Thread!

What's the diff between Missouri & American Doms?

American Doms are the regular ones.

The Missouri Doms are the ones that he added... uh... a bit of OEG? I really like them... makes them more streamlined and less fluffy/barred rock. So... his own line.

a shy one huh? A bit smaller too.

Smaller and not happy. He had just got his Mareks vaccine and complained the whole time.

Missouri Doms an ongoing project (approaching 10 years) where I infused American Game and exerted a selection force to create what the proto-American Dom was like prior to infusion of Black Java.

Another 20 years to go.

Can you rush the whole thing some, I doubt I have 20 years to wait.

Those three old hens above are drying up with one going broody. I am after just 10 more hatching eggs from each. Time to get out turnip squeezing gear.

if you figure out how to squeeze eggs out of them, let the rest of us know!

Will isolate them from cock and feed back some eggs to get reserves back up. Will also pop them with paprika.

First to batches skewed heavily towards males. Latter cohorts may get us back to a better balance between sexes. They are putting weight on very well. Faster growing males will be held onto for assessment of type and color. Intent is to go into winter with six cockerels and the old cock. Cockerels will be split into two commingled bachelor flocks with the Missouri Dominiques.
