Thank you. Everyone is so helpful and insightful. It's amazing. I love it. I'll definitely look into the locations of the hatcheries I look at. I actually discovered Domoniques last night. I loved the look of the Barred Rock, but not fans of confinement and then saw the Domoniques and their temperament all around seems like it would be a better fit for my setup and the heat.
My Ideal Dominiques are lovely birds. They're still pullets who have only been laying for a month so this may improve, but I'm disappointed in the size of their eggs -- solid mediums, not large.
Temperament-wise, they're peaceful in the flock and neither flighty nor especially docile.
