Truly an underrated chicken by todays standards. People think of them as 'less flashy' but boy are they an easy to care for solid meat and layer chicken. The commercial roos are a bit more aggressive than the one he was showing.
The Dominique is another dual purpose layer with a better feed to weight ratio than larger breeds such as the Rhode Island and less prone to frost bite than chickens with single combs.Its the oldest breed in America! The Dominiques prefers foraging and is an excellent choice if you like to free range your flock.Their cuckoo feathers hide them from predators too! Pound for pound you can't beat them around the farm especially if you're new to raising a family and chickens! They're a calm and quieter chickens than most.They don't get frightened easily so they're good around children .They're small enough for them to hold easily and they make great pets ! They also lay 270 eggs med large eggs a yr!
