Im planning on attending this year and will be bring some of my beautiful stock, young birds/chicks/hatching eggs. I raise cochin bantams in project colors such as mauve, chocolate, calico, and millie.
I know the large fowl is more popular then the bantams, but i was wondering if there is anyone who breeds them here in the USA?
I've seen them in the UK mainly so far.
Thanks
I was wondering who else here is working on project colors besides me.
I am working on 2 here myself. I have chocolates in solid, mottled in smooth and frizzled. Im also about to try porcelain as i have a nice breeding pair almost of age to work with and eggs under a hen to become future...
I'm looking for some new ideals for my Cochin bantam's coop. I have 1 big coop and 1 big run for all my diff groups of breeders. I'm looking for pics of everyone's coops runs and pens to give me some new ideals to do an upgrade for my birds.
Thanks so much!

So I had all my birds in the same coop but just paired up all my breeding pairs in their breeding pens for certian colors today.
How long dose it take for the hens to be cleaned out of other roos sperm before I can collect the hatching eggs from the colors I have them paired up with?
I keep seeing min info on breeders all over this site.

Hi there
I was wondering what kind of weed killer I can spray on my rows of iris what will kill weeds/grasses? I have 6ft wide by 100ft long rows of iris flowers and there's no way I can hand weed them. So what could I use to spray them with? I live in Michigan. Thanks!
I always admired this roo at a friends farm and finally got a chance to own him. I love him and his unique coloring. BUT what would his color be considered? It is grey barred in his markings.
So I was wondering if anyone has the chocolate bantam cochins yet? Either solid, mottled, or splashed. I have a couple of English chocolate bantam orphingtons (3 hens 1 roo) that I want to cross onto my cochins to try and get chocolate cochins.
What would be the best cross colors to get them...
