I've ordered 6 Dominique female chicks from Meyer hatchery that will be arriving in June. Reading about Dominiques in Backyard Poultry, (I do believe the article was in the very first issue I received) really got me interested in chickens in the first place. Till then I only had a few puddle ducks. When I got my first chicks they were from the local feed store which orders all theirs from Townline Hatchery in MI. Closest thing they had was barred rocks, so I got 6 of those, straight run. Since then I've had buckeyes and silver and gold laced wyandottes. Got those because they were considered dual purpose breeds and Doms were smaller and laid smaller eggs.
I finally came to my senses though and am looking forward to these gals. I've read they're good foragers and they'll have plenty of opportunities for that.
So, anything you think I need to know?
Are they really friendly?
