Silver Laced Wyandottes - ID

I was going to ask what the difference was between a rock and a dom...but after a little research I found the answer...(posting it incase someone else also wondered)

***

The differentiation between Plymouth Rock and Dominique was not made until 1870 when the management of the New York state poultry show ruled that only rose combed fowl of intermediate size could compete as Dominiques, and that all medium and large single combed fowl of this color would be known as Plymouth Rocks. A small single combed bird of this color was called a Dominique Leghorn.

I just looked back at the McMurray website and saw that they do have Dominiques as one of their 'rare breeds'. They were giving out a free rare breed chick with each order but when I received mine, the order said my free chick was a Buff Orp. I did have one extra Buff Orp so it never occurred to me that this was the free chick. Thanks, all. Now I know what she is.
