Dominiques
aka Dominikers
"Michigan," a Dominique cock of Dominique Farm breeding
The Dominique was the bird that travelled across the country with the pioneers. Known as Dominikers, they were quite hardy and could forage well. This historically important breed is now very rare.

The Dominique pullet has a distinct spot on it's head and a shadow on
the front of the feet & legs. The cockerel has a fuzzy head spot and no
foot/leg shadow.
