Unique Characteristic of Dominique

[commonburrplantandco]

Hey BYC,

So a hawk got my Dominique on Tuesday T.T It's been a rough few days, especially since she was my favorite hen. I was recalling fond memories of her and noticed that she really liked to shrink her neck down and look like the attached image (from wikipedia). I don't think any of my other hens do this (I have Wyandottes, RIRs, and sex-links), so is this something unique to Dominiques? It's really cute.

No, it's not unique to them. Lots of breeds will do that when they're cold.

No, nothing unique about that. Most hens, roosters etc. do it when they are cold. All my hens do.
