What do you think of your Dominiques?

We have 8 pullets
1- Golden Campine
1- Silver Laced Wyandotte
1- Golden Laced Wyandotte
2- EEs
2- Dominiques
1- Golden Sex Link

Why do we have chickens? We bought a house with a coop, are trying to eat locally and love critters.... so why not?

I have -

1 partridge rock (probably, she was a mystery bird)
4 GLW (two will be leaving next weekend to go to their new home)
2 SLW bantams - one is a roo
1 polish crested - black with white crest
2 EEs
3 salmon faverolles
7 BO - one is a roo, two of the girls are sold - just waiting for the $
5 BR - two of these are sold too, waiting on $
2 polish crested - golden laced
2 silkies

I originally got the first couple for eggs, but obviously I'm going to have way more eggs than I'll need when they start laying in a couple months.

Now I use them for punishment for my boys - there's always plenty of manual labor around when they've been naughty!
