My thoughts exactly. Only the red color is more the color of a Blue Laced Red.

She is so Pretty! I love her and would like to buy eggs from you!

I came on here tonight wanting to see if someone can tell me about trimming a cochins butt.  Either my male is shooting blanks or they need trimming!  I have never done this and really dont know how to do it.

I have looked for youtube videos but only found AI videos which I may try.

What are your thoughts.....

Thanks

I looked in on my broody BC and my MF today and low and behold, Mildred has left the nest to be replaced by Millie (my MFCs)!  I didn't realize Millie was thinking about going broody!  Mildred even started laying again already - I know it's her because she insists on pooing on her eggs after she lays them.  Bridgette (BC) is a very diligent and dedicated broody.  This is her second round.  The first round all the eggs were duds and she went broody during the coldest 2 weeks of our winter.  She was off the nest for about 3 weeks, just started to lay regularly again and went broody on a dummy egg.  She never laid her own clutch first.  She's on 10 eggs from WestKnollAmy and they are due to hatch in the next 4 days.  I just gave the MFC girls 5 Ameraucana eggs.  These broody bantam MF Cochins are crazy... At least I can rely on my BC and Silkies.

I trimmed mine for the first time 3 weeks ago.  I don't know if I did it right, but I trimmed all feathers around the vent on both but went above the vent more of the girls and below the vent mor eon the boys (about 3").  I must have done something right... My MFCs' eggs are fertile now, when they weren't before.
