One of the main difference is the Barred rock has a straight comb and the Dominique has a rose comb. Their barring is also different but probably most people can't tell. By the way

read this website -

the differences are seen in the trained eye - barring, comb, tail, body type, conformation, etc

MissPrissy that is a nice website. Thanks for sharing it. I never did know all the differences between the two. Thanks again.

Yes that web site is very informative for the Dominique Breed.

If you study that web site you will see that there are few and far between of the old true Dominiques around. I only breed Dominiques and have to do alot of culling to get what I want in a strain, but I am getting there.
