Join the Backyard Poultry Revolution! I ship fertile chicken hatching eggs. Dominique Chickens- America's Oldest Breed  Dominique
or Pilgrim Fowl were popular in Colonial times. They almost became extinct in
the 1970s and are still considered an endangered species. They are a dual-purpose
bird, good for eggs or meat.The Dominique is a medium-sized black and white barred bird. The tightly arranged feathers and low rose comb make this breed more resistant to frostbite than most other poultry. Dominiques also adapt well to hot and humid climates. They do well on pasture or in confinement, and are calm and easy to work with. Dominique's hatch well, feather early, and mature young. Cocks weigh about 7 pounds; cockerels (young cocks) weigh 6 pounds; hens weigh around 5 pounds; and pullets (young hens) weigh 4 pounds. The hens are good mothers, good layers of light to dark brown eggs, and are somewhat broody. Dominiques are good meat birds. They are considered rare by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

Dominiques are a small version (miniature) of the standard-size Dominique chicken.Bantam Dominique hens weigh 24 ounces (1.5 pounds). Standard Dominique hens weigh 5 to 6.5 pounds. Bantam Dominique roosters weigh 28 ounces (1.75 pounds). Standard Dominique roosters weigh 7 to 8 pounds. Almost everything true about the standard-size Dominiques is true about Bantam Dominiques. One important difference is that Bantam Dominiques are broodier than the standards. In this photo the Bantam Dominique is on the left. A standard (regular size) Dominique is on the right.

chickens are much smaller than regular or standard size chickens.Most large breeds of chicken have a Bantam counterpart or miniature. They are one-fifth to one-quarter the size of the standard breed. However, they do have all of the standard breed's characteristics such as color and comb type. Bantam eggs are one-half to one-third the size of a regular hen egg. They are very cute. Bantam hens are superb at hatching and brooding eggs. They are very good, protective mothers. The roosters are usually more aggressive than standard size roosters. And it is not uncommon for a Bantam rooster to intimidate a large rooster. More about Bantam Chickens "I had White Leghorn chickens that were pulling feathers since I bought them and they just kept tearing out the feathers regardless of what I tried so I had to get rid of them. They came from Tractor Supply and according to the workers there it is a problem that a lot of people had with their birds due to overcrowding when they were peeps and they do not grow out of it. I am just so done with Tractor Supply. I bought blue cote, sulmet, feather fixer, extra food blocks, etc. because I was told they might be bored. Buying eggs from Nantahala Farm is the way to go. My chicks will never be overcrowded." Tom, Lehighton, Pennsylvania Easter Egger Bantam Chickens  Easter
