Dominique Thread!

[NDchickens]

Well, at long last I have some Dominiques. I am so happy. I have my rooster since December, but just got my hen yesterday. Got them both from Sam Brush. I am so blessed. Here are my birds.

This is Domino!



This is Dominica!


Our hopes for a bunch of Doms!

Congratulations. Beautiful birds and wonderful pictures. I like their names, too.

nice Doms....you'll love them. my rooster isn't mean at all, he'd rather run away.

Thanks. I have learned a lot about Doms since I first bought the cockerel from Sam at the show in Shawnee, OK. I am really excited to start off with such good birds.

Sophie, one of your dominique hens looks to have a straight comb. Is this so?

Yay! My Dom hen laid her first egg. Well, I am not sure if it is her first egg, since I just got her a couple weeks ago. I forgot to ask Sam how old she is. The egg is about a medium size though, and I am not sure what size of eggs doms are supposed to lay. I was surprised that it is cream colored and not white. I was expecting white. Not sure why I was expecting white, I just assumed it would be white.

My one dominique also lays very light.pinkish-cream colored eggs....maybe very light-tan... and yes, medium sized eggs - smaller than what you would find as a medium in the grocery store.
