This winter was absolutely terrible I'm sure we can all agree on that! It was brutal for some breeds of chickens as well. The Dominique stood up to the weather!!
This is a fantastic cold hardy breed soft feathering, and auto sexing. Who wants a breed that can determine male & famale wile just a...
Hello everyone. I have eggs from my Dominique's available. If you have not yet raised a Dominque i highly recommend. They are a docile, auto sexing and fantastic in the winter months!! I am NPIP and available to ship from NY. Glad to answer any questions. Thank you.
I have a beautiful group of Dominique from several breeders that work on SOP. I have not personally shown any in the group but two of the hens have been shown before I got them. $3 per egg. I am NPIP and can ship. Thank you.

Hello everyone. I also have black and blue copper marans eggs available. My eggs are between a 5-7 on the color scale with my black copper being the darkest eggs available. My hens are gorgeous! As with any eggs no guarantee on hatching rates but dry hatching has always worked in my favor.
I...
My family initially got into the chicken craze by accident. My neighbor hen(s) got out and brooded eggs in our horse stall. We had 6 chickens; 3 Roos and 3 hens. This was during Thanksgiving time of 2015. Through the years we’ve self educated ourselves on chicken breeds and raising chickens. But...
I previously had a very small flock (2) of Dominiques, sadly my neighbors dog got into our yard broke into the coop and killed my oldest :( so I have one Dominique. I just got 3 RIR hens the man I bought them from didn’t look like he took care of them very much and they seem very afraid of...
I'm new to chicken keeping and currently have six chickens: two roosters and four hens. They are a Dominique and Marans mix given to me as chicks by my "Chicken Mentor" and are less than a year old. I'm planning on expanding the flock in the spring, most likely with pure Marans, but am keeping...
Hello everyone. I wanted to share my list of available breeds for Spring 2018. If interested reply here or in a personal message. Most breeds come from show quality lines. However what you will hatch be be a nice quality from the line but it is entirely up to you to determine which birds to keep...
Hi everyone! I have a Dominique hen that's three years old and she is growing quite a set of spurs. Every year they seem to get longer. It's starting to affect the way she walks a little bit. She can still walk and run, but she uses more of the outside of her feet, probably to keep herself from...
Hey there! :frow I am thinking about getting a new chicken, maybe a Dominique hen. I have a silkie and am not sure how they will do together. I have read that Dominiques are a very docile and friendly breed. They also tend to be down near the bottom of the pecking order. They are a smaller...

Beginning Flock
Well, our beginning flock is very different from our dream flock (see "beginning thoughts" below). A friend, and chicken owner, is moving and needed to downsize her flock and asked if we could adopt a few. Of course I said YES! So thanks to her we have 2 Dominiques...
I normally desperate my chickens when breeding, but we not planning on breeding anything. So all of our free range chickens were in a mixed flock and a bantam Dominique hen Zealand and her bantam Dominique hen partner in crime Dominique decided to make a nest in secret. They layed eggs, along...

My Red Sex Link Hen and Dominique Roo had ONE chick. Is there any way to tell the gender based on the coloring? If it’s a boy would it look like how the roo looked when he was a chick? The chick is yellow, like how the hen looked at that age, but it has a black spot on the back.
What can I...
I had actually gotten an answer for this same young chicken from another forum post (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/dont-know-what-breed-or-gender-you-have-click-here.1170156/), but the only person who responded was the one who started the forum post. While I completely trust and even...
