Dominiques

My Dominiques are going on 11 weeks. From everything I have read these three being darker in color are pullets? One is getting quite the set of tail feathers which is why I am asking.

Thank you so much! They are all identical minus the tail feathers on the one.

Even the one with big tail looks pullet. My pullets often show the longer somewhat curled feathers that are ultimately replaced by shorter, straighter and broader of the tail.

I will take it! It was a risk being a straight run bin! But I love Dominiques and it was worth the risk.

I will say this, they look a little gracile and high in station. What hatchery are they out of?

@centrarchid
They are from our local feed store. I was told they came from a breeder within in the state as opposed to a hatchery.
