I did know that. Which combined with their history and ability to forage an evade predators are the reasons I want them.

I wish they had a little larger egg size and bodies but, those are minor compared to the good stuff I have read on them. I personally like the look of a barred chicken, the rose comb is less susceptible to frostbite which is important to me in Minnesota.


What are they like personality wise? How many do you have? Do you incubate or et the hens brood?

Domiques have good personalitys they are very friendly and smart. I used to have 2 Domiques but one got eaten by a cat. So I have one she is very friendly and lays many eggs. Domiques make up for their small eggs by laying many eggs a day. The most in one day she has layed is about 2. I don't incubate since I don't have a rooster. When we used to have a rooster I let the hen handle the baby's. I've read that Domiques make good mothers. So I would let Domiques be broody. Also dominiques do well in cold climates but not to cold.
