We now have Bantam Dominiques!
Posted in Critter Happenings

We now have 16 new tiny babies peeping away in a brooder. Our order of bantam Dominique chicks arrived from Cackle Hatchery this morning. Our original standard Dominiques were purchased from Cackle Hatchery, and they have nice color and are excellent egg layers. Foremost Dominique breeder Mark A. Fields mentions on his website (http://www.dominiquechicken.com) that the Cackle Hatchery bantam Dominiques originate from his Unbeatable Beauty line, so I'm really excited to see how these babies develop! We're proud to be able to help preserve America's First Chicken in both standard and bantam size. Photos of the new babies can be seen here: http://othalaacres.photosite.com/dominiques/BantamChicks/ Update: The chicks that arrived from Ideal Poultry on April 7th are growing like crazy, and all now have wings. They're just getting into that awkward stage with feathers growing in and fuzz falling out, but they're still cute as ever.  |
