Molly, Welcome! You will love the Dominique! They are friendly, great layers, and hard lawncare workers. It still amazes me that everyone doesn't have a couple...
We've been doing ok in Oklahoma, with only one snow, and a few ice problems (enough to be annoying or too dangerous to drive). The chickens have heat lamps,...
Dominiques are not to have the same 'regular' barred pattern as the Barred Rock, that is one of the noted differences with the two breeds. Therefore, you...
I live in a small village and I have a fenced in backyard where I let my chickens roam. The back of our fence is actually an old cemetary fence (livestock...
Just a note to say hello to the group. We haven't had a chickens at our farm for a couple of years, and would like to start a new flock with Dominiques....
Hello All, I joined this group to learn more about the Dominiker and to meet others that fancy them. I only have a trio at the moment but lots of chicks. Has...
I'm sure most everyone on here already knows a lot about keeping chickens, but last year I wrote an e-book on the subject (including photos and illustrations),...
Nate , it sounds like you have hatchery birds and most if not all i have seen from hatcherys are crossed to improve egg size Most Real Dominique don't lay a...
Thanks for the reply Billy, The more I hatch, the more black ones I get. I bought my two hens from a friend, been hatching Doms for ten years. He has a nice...
Nate Just look at the pic He looks to me to be a cross maybe with a Wyandotte, the way the spike goes down and how dark he is, showes to have only one gene...
Billy Wyandotte? Maybe. Yea, he is dark. His spike does go down. I have the APA Standard from the Dominique website. It did say that Red or yellow in any part...
Yea that happens a lot People think if it is barred it got to be a DOM, Nate What do you want the Dom s for showing or just to have We need more people...
Welcome, Charles! I've only had my Doms for a couple of years, but cannot imagine being without them. If you have the time, please share your chicken wisdom...
Billy, Brian promised me some chicks, and I have been trying to get them for almost 2 seasons now, but he won't email me back! Does anyone have chicks from...
Well, it's summer, and I cannot believe I am taking the time to sit on the computer. There's daylight out there! ;) I peeked in on my groups, and got a pang...
Deborah I don't know what line Brain has, But more than likely it is the Fildes line That's what mine are I got them from Brush The VP of the APA, I did...

I have a variety of bantams right now. I am looking for some good Dominique here in the state of Alabama. Are there many Alabama members here on this group?...
I'm in Alabama and have a little free range flock of around 25 Dominiques (regular sized). The weather was really wacky this Spring though and we didn't get...
Hi everyone, I have 19 heavy breed chickens (dominiques and buff orph). I have two roosters in with them now, but I want to make sure I have complete...
Our first batch of Dominiques consisted of 19 chickens, 2 roosters and 17 hens. That seemed to provide adequate fertility and protection for the hens....
Just a warning on isolating hens that have been with multiple roos. Hens will retain semen from any rooster it has been exposed to for several weeks. I...
Ah, that's right, I should have mentioned that. I've read that 3 weeks is the amount of time you should keep a hen away from a rooster that you don't want her...
