Hi all! I have some beautiful show quality cochins that I purchased this year. They are right at egg laying age and I’m stumped on how to get their eggs fertilized. I’ve been trying to do AI with the cockerel and have had no luck! He just won’t do “it” for me. So now I question weather or not...

Hi there! I just hatched a dozen eggs of silkies that I had purchased from an auction. I have two questions based on my photos below. 1.) what colors are they?? 2.) why does the one white silkie have an “Afro” thing going on, but the other don’t?? Any help would be amazing!! Thank you!!

help! I just can’t seem to successfully artificially inseminate my Cochins! This is my first time with AI. When I flip my rooster over and attempt to receive seamen, nothing happens! I try to stimulate but nothing happens! Anyone have any tricks or advice?!

Hi All, I would like you to give me your opinions on my two roos, one is a splash and one is a white. I will be using both for breeding, and possibly showing the splash at some point later this year. The white has some feet problems due to poor husbandry before I acquired him so he won’t be...

Hi All! I need your opinion on what color/gender my silkie teenagers are. I believe they are some type of partridge, but Id realistically like to know if they are in fact showable. Also, I think one is a pullet (the lighter one) and one is a Cockerel (the darker one) but want your opinions...

Hi all, I was curious to find out who of you use frontline spray on your birds. I have done some research and found some conflicting opinions/answers to weather or not it works and if it is safe to use. I brought some birds home with mites and have purchased Martin's Horse & Stable Permethrin...

Hi all, I’m new to breeding bantam Cochins and for some reason the chicken calculator isn’t working for me, maybe it doesn’t work great on a mobile phone? Either way, I was curious if any of you could help me out with a couple questions I had on genetics. What colors would I get if I mated...

Hi everyone. I have 15 chickens, 5 of them being 7 week old Partridge Silkie chicks. I slowly integrated them with the rest of my flock (which consists of a few Buff Orphington Hens, Rhode Island Reds, and a couple Cochins over the past 3 weeks. The last week-ish they have been in the same...

Hi All. I have a black Cochin hen where it seems like the tissue around the eye is swollen. I have pictures below. One picture of her swollen eye, and one of her good eye. Does anyone know what this is?

Hi all. What color do you think my silkie chicks are? Are they all partridge??

Hi all, We just had our second fox attack in three weeks. The one three weeks ago occurred when my chickens were out free ranging around 6:30pm and I ran inside for 20 minutes to do laundry. The fox managed to 8 of them, most being young birds. I tried to call a couple humane trap and release...

Hi All, I am new to chickens, but I do know that I have a love for Bantam and Standard Cochins! I am really curious to find out from those of you who show your poultry, where and how you house your birds. I'm referring mostly to the roosters, as well as the show hens. I have one big coop right...

Hi all, I just recently created a thread to find out that 99% of the time, 2+ roosters cant really co exist together in the same run, no matter how many hens there are. I'm still new to things, and am learning something new every day from you awesome people. So, now that I am educated on the...

:wee Hi all, I'm new to chickens, and I am learning something new every day by being a part of this awesome group. Today, I have what's probably a very dumb question to ask all of you and that question is: Can I keep 2 roosters? I ask because I have had a Serama rooster and a bantam cochin...

Hi all, I went to a local auction hosted by a poultry club today and came home with a pair of white bantam Cochins. The hen is great - super cute, healthy, etc. The rooster, I’m not sure what to think. His feet are all strange and what look like to be deformed. Please take a look at the...
