Dominiques Compared to Barred Plymouth Rocks


I can't answer about what to do with all the little boys, but I would just order 120 females & call it a day

but yet again I am a Vegetarian.

According to that article the Dominique has white bars that are twice as wide as the black bars on the feathers and the bars are darker gray on lighter gray instead of dark black on bright white. Does this mean mine are Dominiques? Their combs dont look like rose combs though so that would make them Plymouths, right? Yeesh! This is confusing! "Get 120 females"... y'all are funny! lol... I would go insane if I went from no chickens to 150 chickens.

I think it's totally awesome you are willing to take the chicks!! You are going to keep them, right?? You could have a slamming 'bachelor pad'. I can see them already, with their pool sticks in one hand and a beer in the other................................................

Oh, yes.................they will be just fine at your house

Looks like barred rocks... around 6 weeks... and looks like ALL of them are roo's *that does explain why they were ''dumped'' * If you are lucky 3 of those might be pullets.. You will prob just have to wait until you see eggs or hear crowing...

I agree. You have at least 3 roos in the top pic and they are 4-6 weeks old.
