Dominque crosses

[RoostersAreAwesome]

What's the comb of the EE cross? or is it too young to tell.

It could be a walnut comb (pea + rose) or just a rose comb.

I just had 3 chicks hatch out, 2 Dominique x Buff Orpington and 1 Dominque x Easter Egger. The Dominique is the father. One of the Buff Orpington cross chicks is more yellow in the face and has a rose comb, the other is less so, smaller and has a single comb. I can't tell what kind of comb the EE mix is. Can anyone explain the genetics behind this and can the gender be determined based off of the differences? Here are some pics: View attachment 1912076 This is the first Dominique x BO cross with rose comb.

And this is the DOM x EE.

Here are all of them with their mother, just because it's cute:View attachment 1912138
Thanks!!!

What kind of weight did your roos come in at for this cross? Good table bird?

I was only left with one roo out of the batch; the DOM x EE cross. Unfortunately, I did not weigh him, but here is a picture at 20 weeks that might give you some idea.

I managed to make 2 chicken quesadillas I believe out of the meat.

Maybe a pea comb? They look like that as day old but I have no clue if these crosses can make that comb

That's a Cushion/Strawberry/ AKA Walnut comb. A good smooth one too. Just like this boy.
