Does anyone have contact information for Mickey BelleIsle? At one time he showed Dominiques in the northeastern US. The last contact I had with him, he lived...
David, I heard the Lamonas were extinct but some people were recreating them. I would like to have some if anyone knows where I can get some or the formula to...
The Lamonas have been thought to be extinct but a year or so ago a couple of flocks were located. To the best of my knowledge they have not been documented....
The American Dominique by Mark Fields is becoming harder to find. I heard of a copy selling for over one hundred dollars but I was able to get one directly...
I bought a copy a couple years back, and it was worth every penny. I read it cover to cover and it is chock full of useful information. A must-have book if you...
Yes I'm keeping my Dominiques. I found the website and the book is $55 post paid. http://www.dominiquechicken.com/A_Book_on_Dominiques.html I got seriously...
It is a great book - I was able to get a copy from Bryan Oliver last fall. Tons of useful information. Another source of outstanding information on the...
Have any idea how many newsletters are on the cd? David ... From: Dan Handley To: dominique_chickens@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 9:45 AM ...
Hi Nate: I don't know where you are (geographically). Here in New England, I was looking for a breed that was cold-hardy, which is what led me to Dominiques. I...
I've had the same problem. The coops are being moved, and the new coop design will account for the heavy rains in the area. I haven't had time to work with the...
At least my "big" hen house is up off the ground, so sleeping quarters stay dry. And we've had a little dry spell now, so things are looking up. Yes, we're due...
I had quite a few roos hatch this year, and they are now getting to the age where they are starting to clash. They haven't started fighting yet, but they are...
We have a small farm in Selmer Tn. I have had chickens all my life. I really got into raising them full time in the last few years after my husband suffered a...
Hi Gene, I just posted info on the book at the Dominique Club website (www.dominiqueclub.org) a few days ago. There are just 14 books left, and you can buy...
I bought "The American Dominique" book 2 weeks ago. Well worth the $55, a good read and a ton of information. Thank you Mark! Now I realize the quality of my...
It is possible to improve the flock but you do not know how far that they can go. Some hatchery birds have lost the original hue of the dark barring, are...
You can select your way to what the line can do but it may have lost a fudamental element such as hue of dark barring, carriage of the body, etc. You'll need...
Hey neighbor!(Sort of) I live in Knoxville, TN and have a small flock of Dominiques. I have a breeding program in conjunction with a flock that my sister owns...
Would you and/or your sister have a dozen or so hatching eggs to sell? I have a small flock of Dominiques from an elderly couple near here. They had...
David, Do you know the source of the Doms that the couple had? Has anyone else kept the line going in your area? What traits do you think are inferior?...
The elderly woman told me where she got her doms. I made a trip there shortly thereafter but was vacant and could not get a lead as to where they might be...
David,  If you choose not to start over I would highly recommend that you introduce a new cockerel to the females in the spring. I have plenty of nice...
If you have been breeding this same line with turn over of males for 3 or 4 generations and you see absolutely no improvement, you'll pretty well in my opinion...
Been thinking about it a bit more and wonder if you ought to get a top notch Dom bantam rooster and get them downsized first. Might bring in some great...
