    Cochin Roosters and breeding

    I have been told by two people that Cochin Roosters can not fertilize eggs and that they need "assistance". i have never heard of such a thing and cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Is this a wive's tale??

Baytril has always been a great antibiotic for me for...
