The reason I asked is because my wife and I created a FREE poultry pedigree website. It is a first of it's kind and we still have a long way to go to perfect...
Don't know if it's true (as I have no interest in following the link myself), but someone on another group warned that this posting was spam and not to click...
... Personality and Personality! <big grin!> Actually, I could add two more, as my four Dom hens all have such different personalities. But, to add a...
When I got my first Dominques some 16 years ago, I immediately fell in love with their temperament. The roosters are so level headed. They just seem to be...
I just added 4 new pic , under Billy dom's If you want to take a look, the two pullets are different birds but the cockeral is of the same bird, will add more...
Their personality, their color, the beautiful tail and hackle feathers on the roosters, and the cute, cocky rose comb that looks more like a Kings Crown. We...
I have two bantam cochin hens who haven't layed an egg in months and have been sitting for weeks. I read about caging them, so have put them in a cage for the...
... Jamie< Jamie, any time I have a hen trying to set that I don't want to, I do like you put them in a cage for about two weeks and by then they are threw...
I'm new to chickens and Dominiques, but have immensely enjoyed my 2 Dom hens and 1 roo (I started with 10 of them but have made some mistakes along the way)....
No the color should not be there but it could be from the Sun , if they are in the sun a lot it will color the hackles and saddles a yellowish color, and yes...
If there is anyone here that is in the Pacific Northwest that is interested in selling a small flock of Dominiques to me (1 roo, 5-6 hens) please contact me...
Sharon: Don't give up on your birds. I have dealt with that "goldish" tint with my birds and it is a sneaky little fault that can ruin the color on your...
... Hi Sharon: My girls are all breeding flock rejects - one of them because she had twisted toes. She has that golden sheen, especially around her face and...
I've seen adds from folks on this site selling dominiques and they are sold in grades ranging from show to barn yard. Would one of you kind folks explain the...
Hello Gene, the grades of Dominiques is based on the standard of perfection as described by The American Poultry Assoc. There are defects which eliminate...
Thanks for the info. I do have a standard and have been showing Langshans for 35 or 40 years so I do know about stubs and such. I had never heard sale birds...
I don't know about the Grades, But a good show type Dom, is slate in color not the dark colors that most of the hatcheries has, good Yellow beak and legs no...
Congrats! That's a long time. Phoebe only had 3, but they are doing fine. We're sitting out in the yard today, it is so nice. This was their first day on the...
I'm not sure about show quality, but mine are layers. There are 14 hens laying, and we get 6-25 eggs/day (average is 12). The 2 roos and a couple of the hens...
I read quite often on this group about egg production and Dom "pets". Don't recall anyone mentioning that the meat is very good as well. While some are more...
David, You make a very good point.? I like you do not have the "pets" category for my Doms, they are for food, eggs when their young and meat when their egg...
... That may certainly be true for you - and, indeed, for most of the group. But there are some of us who, although we eat eggs, don't eat chickens, and Doms...
Mary: Has anyone warned you that Dominiques (and probably most chickens when well cared for) can live for 12 or more years?!? I keep Dominiques as livestock...
I hope and pray that my Dominiques will live as long as possible. Any animal ownership (whether raising for food or pet) is a responsibility that should never...
... Oh, yes - I know that! :-) But then, we've been adopting Greyhounds for more than 30 years - and they live a VERY long life (for a dog), so that's nothing...
