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...
... Hear, hear! I couldn't agree more! I may never breed Dominiques myself (then, again, I might someday), but I can't say enough good about the folks I've met...
Just curious to small holder doses for cod liver oil and wheat germ oil? Usually, my girl go thru about 1/3 a standard size coffee can a day. Most of the time...
I'm looking to buy 2 or 3 '08 pullets or '07 hens. I'm in East TX, so if you're in TX, north LA, or south AR or OK and have some for sale please contact me....
This is a little further than the areas you mentioned but the ad below has been running in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette classifieds over the weekend. ...
If anyone is interested in a flock of older hens and rooster (4 + 1), 2007 hens and rooster (6 + 1) plus pullets/cockerals from this year (#?), I am selling...
I have a group of Dominiques for sale in central KY. One group of 1 rooster and 4 hens are older, I bred these and would be great to get a few chicks out of....
Hello Gene, good to hear from you. Just getting ready for the Ohio Nation in about three weeks. Hatching a few Dominiques via the natural method even this...
Since Gene has prompted us to post something I would like to see if anyone has had this happen to them…. I have a pullet (Dominique of course) that was...
My "experiment" with the broody pullet was a bust. I put 14 eggs under her on Monday. They were due to hatch that Weds. She seemed to settle right down on...
Hi, We did some work last Friday night and now the chicken do not want to go in the coop. We have to put them in at night. Also this is there first "real"...
Michelle,  Leave your birds in the coop for several days to a week with food and water. Begin to let them out about 4 hours before dark, they should return...
My chickens are not laying at all. Some of them were hatched in June-July, so they may not have started yet, but the other two were last years and they were...
... Hey Michelle! They will not go in if it is dark inside. There needs to be some light- a window- something to let a little light in. Also, it may be that it...
