Expert Opinion needed....Dominiques or Barred Rocks????

[Grampa with chickens]

Hi Folks,

I got these guys as eggs and was told they are Dominiques. I have some doubts. They are three months old now and I want to know for sure before I start advertising these as Dominiques and find out they or Barred Rocks.

Thanks,

Barred Rocks have a single comb..like yours.

Single comb and yellow feet - barred rocks.

Dom's have rose combs.

Definitely Barred Rocks.

Here is a pic of my babies for comparison

look like barred rock... the two can be really hard to tell the differnce to a non expert... im no expert either but i made the mistake of selling barred rocks as doms

BRs. Some old timers and locals here call anything with barring a "Dominecker", which is entirely inaccurate, but they hold onto that habit anyway. Those are most definitely BRs.

That's how these started too. Old timers who thought barring was a dom.

Thanks to you all. I got these in North Carolina at Christmas and brought them back with me. Oh well, they were free.
