Here's a weird but true fact: Doms smell better than other chickens. They have a clean, after-the-rain scent. My other chickens have an earthy smell. I noticed this one day during cuddle time. Of course after noticing, I began sniffing chickens and asking others to do the same. Go ahead and...

I've seen that before but it was always a one time fluke. How's Dana now?

That's a very good hatch!!!! My seramas love to go broody. I usually time my incubator with their hatch. They sit on a few eggs then get about 30+chicks at hatch. (With seramas it's just easier to set up a big brooder and add a little mama hen.)

That's exciting. Nice incubator, too. ;) I bought the same one a couple years ago. It's my go-to incubator because I can set it up quickly and not fuss with it. Plus I like how small it is.

Stealth chickens!

:frow Glad to hear from you & "Dana" again! No longer have a Dom here, but I still watch this thread to see their beauty.

Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for a wonderful 2021.

:hugs So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember all those pics from when they were chicks. Doms really are a great breed and we all understand what it feels like to lose a beloved pet. I still miss our dear Bubbles.

Love the pic of the Dom in the garden. The pic of the smoke from the fire..... not so much. That's gotta be so scary.

That's strange how they grew a cushion. Mine didn't stand very pretty when young but as she aged she looked better. (acquired the U-back stance you mentioned) I really miss my Dom, Bubbles. Perhaps you could post a few more pics so I can get my fix for pretty Dominiques.

Those really do look like vulture hocks. :eek:

:lau I'd laugh harder if not for the fact that I've got a Lav orp hen named "Lavender". :oops:

"Mr Green"? Are you still naming all your birds by the orig leg band color? LOL

I found that the u-shaped back took a little while to develop. My younger pullets didn't "stand pretty" until they were 4-5 months old. I think they were too busy running around, avoiding the adults, and getting into mischief to flaunt their stuff. I don't breed Doms, so what I've got is...

I think this one is very pretty.

This is a great place to ask, and overall they're a great breed. The temperament of Doms is one of their best features. They are friendly, curious, & intelligent. Their feather are softer & have a better smell than other chicken breeds. They can free range well and are not as heavy on the...

I did nothing for my Dom & she was just fine. Being female she had nice tight wattles and the perfect comb for the cold. The coop is insulated but not heated in any way. Having cold hardy breeds helps. In northern IL, we normally get a few days below zero, but this year was extreme. We...

Handsome comb! What's his temperament like? Is that 'Lucy' in the background? Send me some pics of her if you can.

That is an interesting comb. The 1st pics pics look great & I couldn't see anything odd at all ....... until I scrolled down to the 3rd pic. I like her dark narrow barring & alert, expressive face. (Reminds me of the sweet Dom I had.) I have no idea if the comb will change or stay that way.

Happy New Year!
