Dominique questions

There should not be any single combs. Probably Barred Rocks got in the line at some point.
Rose combs are dominate over single so without test breeding I'd be worried some of the rose comb ones carry single comb gene.
I personally wouldn't use any of them.

I also wouldn't use any of them for breeding. I'd suspect the "breeder" may not even know the difference. How often have you seen a "Dominecker" for sale that is just a Barred Plymouth Rock? People think because a bird is Black and White (striped), it's a Dominique regardless of the comb. I've had Cuckoo Marans in the past that people have asked to purchase, thinking they were Dominiques.

Agreed. I also see mostly cockerels.
