Hello!
Hubby and I have a few acres and a desire to start producing at least some of our own food, so we are looking at starting our own flock. I am terribly excited. I'm doing the research for us now and the Dominique is my top contender as a bird to start with. I love the idea of raising a heritage bird. We're in the mountains so their reputation of dealing well with extreme temperatures, predator awareness, and foraging potential are all a plus.
I'd love to buy from a breeder who specializes in Dominiques if possible, but I'm worried that might be too idealistic as they don't seem to be particularly easy to find!
Anyway, I'm excited to be part of this community! I know I have a lot to learn
