Why Dominique Hatching Eggs?

• Historic American Heritage: As the first recognized chicken breed in the U.S., Dominiques carry deep historical value — a true piece of Americana for your homestead.
• Consistent Egg Layers: Dominiques lay 200–250 medium brown eggs per year, offering reliable egg production even through colder months.
• Cold-Hardy & Resilient: Their rose comb and tight feathering make them especially well-suited for colder climates — less prone to frostbite and highly adaptable.
• Broody When Needed: Though not overly broody, Dominique hens will occasionally go broody and make attentive mothers when they do.
• Low-Maintenance & Foraging Pros: Smart and efficient foragers, they thrive in free-range environments and help reduce feed costs.

Egg Quality and Packaging:

• Eggs are collected daily and are no more than 3 days old at the time of shipping to ensure maximum freshness and fertility.

• Eggs are individually wrapped and securely packaged in foam or bubble wrap to minimize the risk of damage during transit.
• Please note: Fertility and hatch rates can be influenced by factors such as incubation technique and shipping conditions. While we guarantee fresh and fertile eggs, we cannot guarantee a specific hatch rate.
