The Hoover's Hatchery Dominique Chickens are considered a heritage breed because they are considered to be America's oldest breed of chicken. Thought to have come to northeast America with European settlers, Dominique hens tend to be calm and personable. Their docile, steady demeanor makes them successful as show birds or family pets. At first glance, Dominiques and Barred Rocks appear strikingly similar with the strongest difference being the Dominique chickens possess a rose comb while Barred Rocks possess a single comb. Medium-sized, with white and black barred plumage, these quiet, friendly chickens are winter hardy, tolerate confinement well, and can be broody.
