Black bantam cochin cockerel

[ShysCreations]

Nicely shaped black cochin male, 2010 spring hatch so he is very nearly rooster age. He's crowing/breeding. Heavily feathered feet, yellow & full toes/nails. Comb & wattles in great shape, he's not been fighting. Lovely broad tail & compact shape. In photos he has not been trimmed for breeding so all the cushion is there. He was part of a pair I purchased at a show... I am keeping the hen but feel he's of good quality so thought I'd make him available. He's from reputable Colorado breeder, one of 2-3 in the state who win the Colo shows. If someone in Colo is interested, I can meet at the Sunday swap in Brighton.

I love him. Would express get him WV fast enough that it wouldn't be crazy stressful on him?

Gorgeous Bird! But I have a question?, Isn't he feet surpose to be black?

He is a beauty~!

My question is on the USPS "Live Surcharge". I just shipped 5 birds on Monday & nothing was mentioned by my PO. I do my labels here at home on my computer. Perhaps this is something that is only charged if you actually go into the PO for them to handle the labeling?? Let me know what your scenario was as I'm really interested. I ship a lot of birds & this would be devastating to all involved. Thanks so much for the heads up.

Lynne, you've got me hmmmmmming & hmmming. I think the POs are definitely not consistent. I drop off at the large mail facility in central Denver which goes directly to the airport. Rather than an extra stop for the bird at my local PO.
I'll grab my receipt tonight but I think it was a $6 live surcharge. For one adult bantam cochin male to Reno, NV with a good size chunk of watermelon....it was $52. That was purely postage, I didn't even pass on the cost of the box itself.
Do you use paypal for your home printing? I've not seen how to make a live ship label on there.

Sackman, you don't use live ship on Paypal, you have to use EXPRESS MAIL, Then you don't have to pay the surcharge. And you didn't answer my question. OH never mind about the feet! I see the object in the background which ends up in the front where I thought his toes were! DUH!!

On paypal you just choose express mail. No live surcharge and its cheaper than paying for express at the PO. When somebody pays you, next to their payment will be a print shipping label option. Click that and it will tell you what to do.


Beautiful bird!! Wish I had cochins.
