Dominique

Dominique are considered a "heritage" breed of chicken in that they''ve been around for hundreds of years and are now critically endangered. Some people can't tell the deference between a Dominique and a Barred Rock, but the trained eye will notice that Dominiques have a rose comb versus the Barred Rock's single comb. Dominques are a wonderfully cold-hardy dual-purpose bird, and hens make very caring, nurturing mothers.
