Description
A miniature size of the Dominique Standard chicken breed and recognized by the American Poultry Standard of Perfection in 1960. The Dominique Bantam chicken has a docile and calm disposition and become quite the pets. They enjoy being around people and lay a lot of eggs. They are colored up just like the Standard Size and have a rose comb. Mark Fields was instrumental in providing Cackle Hatchery some seed stock of the bantam and standard size decades ago. Mark passed in January 2021 and he will be missed by many in the poultry world. They are a great back yard chicken and show/exhibition type chicken that will delight all. Cheap-cheep. Enjoy!
Many people who like this breed of chicken also like the standard version of the breed, the Dominique Chicken

I love these attractive, hardy, bantams. They are active and friendly, but not overly so. I was really happy that I could order just females of 2 bantam breeds. Thank you Cackle!!

Our Dominique bantams arrived safely this am. There were extras and everyone arrived alive, but one little one was off by itself and didnt seem so good. Unfortunately he passed shortly thereafter, but everyone else seems happy and vigorous, even after their long and stressful trip thru the mail. They are absolutely beautiful bantams and were packaged carefully for the trip, including a little heat pad to help them have less cold stress along the way. First time to order from cackle and very happy with the quality and care for their chicks that has been displayed so far. Thanks!

Dominique Bantams
We have five of these that live happily with our full size black and cuckoo marans pullets. One has a crooked tail, but otherwise they are very beautiful birds with great personalities. They love to run around the barnyard in a group looking for something good to eat, we call them the squad. If I were to pick one breed to have as pets, these would be it.

Dominique Bantam
This was first time for us to raise the Dominique Bantam among others. They are a miniature kind, half the size of the large kind, and not much larger then the Silver Sebright Bantam . Their eggs are small, as well. Right in their early adulthood both our Dominique Bantam chickens became broody, and we got ten more new chicks within the first year. The rooster was one of our Silver Sebright Bantam, so I am looking Forward to see what will be the end result of that combination.
The Dominique Bantam is a very friendly and peaceful kind, and amazing mothers!!! We did nothing to help her raise her chick, she would disappeared at night then appeared in the morning with all ten of them! Once they got their feathers she simply let them be on their own, but still present there for them. Amazing kind!

Gr8 layers, somewhat skittish, NOT aggressive!
Ordered 15 sr, received 14 females & 2 males. They lay a lot of small/medium eggs, 5+ a week. 1 died early on all others thrived extremely well, very vigorous line. Not aggressive at all but a bit skittish. Meaty bodies, some look to have a little barred rock type in their background. Would recommend these birds to every1. They’re vigorous and my best layers.
