We have decided to part with our entire Urch/Stichler breeding group. We have the two cock birds that I mentioned in previous posts, as well as around 50 chicks. We bought 25 chicks last year from Urch-Turnland hatcheries, kept the best of them and these chicks are out of those few birds. We have one pen of chicks has an Urch cockerel over two of our hens as well. All chicks are toe punched and most are wing-banded for ease of record keeping.
From the breeder direct, these birds are $6 per day old chick. We will have some day old Urch chicks, $5ea ($7/pullet, $3/cockerel if you want them sexed) we will also have started chicks for $7ea ($9/pullet, $5/cockerel if you want them sexed).
We would love to see these go to another Dominique enthusiast, if a Dominique breeder is serious and wants to prepurchase, we do have three hens from this line, but if not we will keep them for egg layers for summer and part with them in the fall.
For a non-breeder: the Dominique is an excellent dual purpose bird, great backyard bird. Hens are good layers and will raise their own chicks in the spring, Cocks are excellent flock guardians with docile personalities and make a good heritage meat bird.
Thanks everyone! See you at the swap!
