one of our chickens is a rare breed!!

She is this hen that looks different then the rest of our hens....most of them are White leg horns (here is what they look like when chicks....even though they aren't chicks, but I just found this picture and thought you'd want to see them!;-) and a few are black Australorps, (I spelled that Right..... right??) but this one hens is different, Mama has done some research, and she found out that she is a American Dominique!!
Dominique's are a rare breed and can be good 'nanny's' which means that they will lay on another hans eggs.....birds like the leg horns have had the 'mama' instinct bread out of them, so they won't sit on eggs, just leave them, even if they are fertilized (is a 'alive' egg, can become a chick). But, sadly, our Dominique doesn't sit on others eggs, so if she doesn't start laying eggs soon, she'll be moved to the soup pot. :-(
In case you wannna see, this is what Dominique's eggs look like.
