I like your Dom. I have well you know 64 red chickens & one Dom. She's my favorite she has a great personality & never causes any problems. I wish I had more of them. Here's mine:

Nice! Are the other ones RIR's?
I have 4 Dominiques and 1 Black Australorp. The Doms are very nice chickens, the BA is a little shy and kind of a loner, This is my first full year of having chickens, so I picked the Dom breed cause I was told that they are quiet and friendly. Living in a neighborhood, I needed the quiet kind, and I wanted friendly cause I knew I'd want to pick them up. Out of the 4 Dom's only 1 is a chronic complainer, (maybe she really isn't complaining, but it sure sounds like that! I am hoping to move to a larger property--I do want to have more chickens. ......and maybe some alpacas.

I hatched all my chickens. I call them Texas Reds. My Dom is basically quiet but she can raise the roof if she wants too. I have hatched one of her offspring who has become a cockerel he has the rose comb & the prettiest markings I think. Very different looking..

Much safer:

Yep !! The OP said she only lets them in the pool when she's with them. I agree though much safer. I think chickens in a pool unsupervised would eventually get water logged & drown. Their not ducks.

Yes, the OP is doing it right, she is supervising and not allowing any unsupervised in there. Just wanted to show a safer alternative. There are those, you know, that get the wrong idea about chickens being 'safe' in a pool. It's the internet, you know.

I agree good post your right. I really want a pool I'm thinking above ground its just to hot here in Texas & the summers just stay around forever & a day.
