dominique

I have a Dominicker rooster that has yet to crow. We bought him in April and it looks like he’s full grown, being that he is only slightly smaller than my older girls, but he hasn’t crowed at all yet? Is it still too early? He had the feathering of a male bird. I’ll attach a photo that was...

Hey mates 🖐 I have a few random threads I update time to time, but thought it'd be nice to have a catch-all thread with no specific focus. I find myself checking BYC at work each morning.. so Good Morning BYC and welcome to my cup of joe ☕☕☕

Update Nov. 11 -- Not POL, at least 2 are now Laying. From Ideal Hatchery's May 19th hatch so 18-weeks at the time I post this. 1 French Cuckoo Marans -- Fricasee 2 Dominiques -- Classic and Everroast 2 Large-Fowl Silver-Laced Cochins -- Nugget and Kebob All healthy and without any issues...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Dominique cockerel, 7mo, healthy weight (last week at the fair he won best of breed, best of class, and best large fowl! he's my keeper!!) 2) What is the behavior, exactly. I found him...

I have a Dominicker named Blueberry Michelle and recently I’ve noticed that her tail feathers have a curl or sickle shape to them. My mom says that some hens can have tail feathers like that and we hope she’s not a rooster cause we planned on only having chickens for eggs not breeding. If she is...

So this curious girl went through the fence with our speckled Sussex and got hurt. The Sussex looked like she was in bad shape so I isolated and took care of the wounds. She’s fine now. This girl only looked like she had a tiny nick on her leg and scrape on her back. Those both healed quick and...

I have been raising Dominques for a couple years now and this year I am finally making some project selections to produce high quality show and meat birds as well as hatch a new line to add in a few birds to improve their comb details. So, as a hatch along, here is my first little incubator...

Hi all! I recently purchased seven chicks and its probably still a bit early to confirm sexes and breeds for sure but I'd appreciate any help you could provide on this! I know at least two chicks are not the breed we thought we bought, I now suspect they are Olive Eggers. The others I think...

1 Turken, 2 Starlight Green Eggers, 3 Dominiques around 4 weeks of age. I posted these pics on a couple of Facebook Groups, as well. My husband and I are not allowed roo's where we live.

I have two 4 week old dominiques. They were sold to me as female, and all the signs have pointed to them being female (shadowing on legs and feet, getting feathers quickly, uniform spot on head). I have noticed that one of them has a comb that is slightly bigger and getting more red than her...

I thought, after a couple of hatches of Dominique chicks and then some Dominique crosses, I would be able to read head spots by now. However, these littles have me stumped. They're one day old from a Cream Legbar rooster over a Dominique hen. They all look the same & don't look very "spotty" to...

I am having some trouble determining the sex of some of my 4 week old chicks. Can anyone help? I have a Dominique and Mille Fleur D’uccle (frizzled) that I’m unsure of. Seeing a lot of pink/red on the Dominique but it’s legs have a shadow grayish look to them so I’m unsure. My Mille’s cone is...

Hello all! I have a couple of 4-week old Dominique chicks. I got them from a local feed store that told me they were all sexed to be pullets. I noticed some differences between my two Dominiques from the beginning and they are becoming even more pronounced. I was hoping to gain some insight...

Pictures of my flock. I will flood this thread with pictures of my mixed flock. Red our RIR cockerel. Handsome boy great protector. Sally WL. Pretty sure she will be alpha female, bossy, curious, quick. Mango RIR. Very sweet, loves to perch high, loves me. Emily aka "Dodo" Rescue possible...

Hi all! We got our first batch of chickens from a friend who hatches then for her first grade class. We had no idea what we were getting, and now we are sorta stuck with two hens, a Gold Laced Polish roo, and a Dominique roo. The Dominique is the problem child. Believe me, we didn't want to have...

Hi all! The first two pictures are her right eye on day one and day two. The last picture is her other eye ( I snapped a picture when she was sleeping ). I have been researching and keep coming back to an injury, but both of her eyes have problems which leads me to think it's an other issue...

Hey y'all! Had a real bad egg bind today, she was too far gone by the time I got to her and hadn't been acting peculiar the previous day. I ended up having to cull her after working with her all day. When I plucked her she had bruising between her legs underneath her vent. When I cleaned her it...

I have 2 ten week old Dominique hens and I was wondering how can you tell them apart from barred rocks? I also have 4 ten week old barred rocks. They all look the same to me I’m just waiting for the tails to grow out more.

My little dominecker Pepper follows me around like a little puppy ❤ she's my little 11 week old love

I love my new chickens! Six hens — 3 Buff Orpington and 3 Dominique. A few of them just started laying. One of the Orpies lays beautiful green eggs which threw me for a loop! Was doing research and found this group which confirmed my suspicions about having an BOxEE. She also looks really...
