Are these show quality BTM cochins ?

Between the feet and the wings. The feathers on the legs should be all soft. No hard feathers.

The comb is good, I shouldnt even mentioned it, no biggy there. From what I can see you can get a real good price for the blacks. You could definitely set a minimum bid on them, no problem.


I just cant tell on the whites from the pictures. I will post a pic of one of mine, who are not perfect, to show the hock feathers. BRB.

WHat do you think a price for the black trio should be ill go take pics of the other black hen and roo brb too

I, personally, wouldn't make any claims about show quality. Just provide plenty of pictures and let the buyers decide for themselves. If you bought them from a specific breeder and he produced them, you can probably say his name.

Only if you're sure he actually produced them, though.

This shows in between her wings and her feet that she has soft feathers. Her comb is also not so good, but she will make a very good breeder (I hope)

Asher he told me his name but i was so excited by all the birds at the show and the sale area i forgot his name . And i think i found it on the exibitor list but im not 100% sure its him so i dont want to name the wrong name lol . But he does have great birds he had a ton in the show

Tiki i can see the pic but i think i know what you mean the feathers are i dont want to say hard but they arent as soft as the blacks ones i want to say if i had to rate them from 1 to 10 i would say a 4 or a 5 lol . The black ones hook feathers feel like thier tale feathers

tiki now i can see the pic i am downloadding the other pics of the other 2 black cochins . They didnt want to cooperate so the pics arent the best . And the black hen just laid an egg in my shower

They look young too so they could really fill out in their tail feathers in another year.


Very good point Asher,,,lots of pics and let people decide.

Black roo
(Was not cooperating )was trying to run away !

Black hen
(also wasnt cooperating ) She was trying to peck the blanket and kept trying to fly off the couch every time i would move my finger to take a pic

I should say these 2 have alsnot had a batch yet i preocupied trying to clean out my sportsman to put my araucana eggs in and the cochin egg i just got out of them !

The blacks have extremly soft hook feathers and the roo comb is straight On this guy !

And do any of you know how to post multiple pics on egg bid i can only get it to take one pic

 

[tiki244]

idk A picture can say a lot. Those pics are not showing their good sides. Maybe you could keep them a while and hatch some eggs. You would probably have to either trim heavily or do artificial insemintaion to have the eggs fertile.



Yes the roo has a very nice comb. Mine like to run away when I am taking pics too.

 

[poultrykeeper08]
