Help me identify the breed of chicken in this photo from 1920

[ESofVA]

My older family called them Domineckers, too. I don't recall any of those hens having large combs. Of course, I was a small child then and 50 years can do a ot to the memory. I will go back through some of my old pictures and see if I can find any that have chickens in them!

Well they must be barred plymouth rocks then....I love your old photos too! So I don't actually have any right now. I think it must be agreed that at some point leg horns were introduced to the breed because the birds seem smaller and the combs are bigger. I think that the old versions are much prettier.

Check out this thread, those birds probably are more like what you're looking for.
