Dominiques

Beautiful birds! But methinks you may have gotten a little somethin-somethin extra in there...

The black sexlinks, Cinnamon Queens, Leghorns or??

Girls, iv'e seen them sleek like yours and thick and pillowy as well.

So happy to hear that!

View attachment 2149163This is the male’s coloring looks like. You definitely have girls. Thank goodness for that! My Dominique roo was a....I can’t say any of the words that come to mind.

Wow he was beautiful though!

No, not a production hybrid. Are those breeds that were sold nearby? I suppose a Leghorn is a possibility, but that would be a strange way for it to show. My guess would be some gamefowl may have crept in. Not to say it was dishonestly, might have happened unnoticed. I am a complete novice, so take what I say lightly, please! I wish my local Dominiques looked so nicely formed!

Oh were you referring to the Dominiques? I thought you meant the birds behind them lol one of the girls was a runt. I wasn't sure she was going to make it. But she did. They are the sweetest girls, next to my black sexlinks.

The two in my flock are decent examples of the range.The little lady below is Dutch she is lean and lanky she also grows slightly curved tail feathers

This not so little lady is Hobo, she isn't lanky beyond her toes. This shape is what I grew up seeing.

Beautiful girls! This is my first time with Dominiques. They are so sweet and friendly. I'm super happy with them.

They are nice birds for sure, really I can't think of any downsides to them they're just 100% no fuss chickens.
They have quirks like being very fond of snatching things but that is entertainment not a downside.
