So far his temperament is very good. Compared to some of the other breeds I've had (particularly SFH) he was pretty late to do everything "manly" :) . I'm keeping an eye on him to see how he develops over the next few months. He was a June hatch so not a year old.
Yes, that is...
The Mark Fields article says: "...top of comb evenly filled in with small rounded points."
So if it is more flat without the points, does that make it incorrect?
Can someone post - or direct me to a link - that shows what the Dominique comb should look like for male and female? I have question regarding how "flat" vs. raised "rows", etc.
Got a photo of a couple of the 14 week old doms today. There are 3 pullets total and 2 cockerels. Will only keep one of the cockerels (if he continues to behave).
Green Band - Hope he's a keeper.
One of the pullets (blue and red bands).

I recommend a quick read through this thread...may change your mind about how to treat/not to treat.

3 Pullets
No band:
Red & Green Bands (I only got a poor one of this girl.)
Red & Blue Bands. This girl has really long tail feathers. Will she grow into them?
Going to post some photos of my dom kids.
They'll be 11 weeks on Sunday. I had 3 cockerels. One was absolutely stunning...but a biter from very young. (Not pecking...biting.) Besides the fact that he was biting, I believed he was too beautiful to become soup without a chance to fully grow...
