Dominique chickens are one of America’s oldest heritage breeds and a true all-around favorite for small farms and backyard flocks. Recognized by their striking black-and-white barred plumage and classic rose comb, Dominiques are especially cold-hardy and well suited to a wide range of climates. They’re calm, even-tempered birds that tend to do well with families and mixed flocks, and they’re known for being good foragers that thrive with some free-range time. Hens lay a steady supply of medium brown eggs, and the breed’s dual-purpose nature makes it practical as well as attractive. For anyone looking for a low-maintenance, historically significant chicken with reliable production and a gentle disposition, Dominique chicks are an excellent choice.
