I bought a trio of bantam cochin chickens. And the hens are laying eggs, and I have hatched a few of their eggs in the past (6), but the fertility is extremely low. Their age is about 3 years, and I feel like the problem isn't with the age, I think they face difficulty in mating. The male does not mount the hen properly due to the excessive amount of feathers, and odd shape of the bird and I feel like he always misses the vent. What can I do? I feel like artificial insemination would work; except the only thing is I have never done it before, and don't know anyone who does it. Any of you have any tips I could use?
