Buff Barred Cochin Thread

That is so wonderful that you were able to work him back to health, Lynne!

I did crop surgery one time and failed. I never was very good in the surgery room. My hands are meant for power tools and I fear I am not cut out for the more delicate maneuvers.

I can't wait to get some great girls with barring. So far mine have hints of it but nothing on the body, just head or feet.

Amy, I've done the crop surgery 7 times & only lost one. The one I lost was so weak as I waited too long. I've heard of others that have cleared the blockage without surgery. But my kids seem to eat the Bermuda Hay & it gets wound up in a ball in their crop & would never disolve. I feel fortunate that my numbers are good. I always hesitate to do too much too soon but sometimes there is just no other alternative.

Nugget is beautiful! Er....handsome!

I can't wait to get a lot of these on the ground. I have thinned down my other project pet pens so I can concentrate on more that I truly love. And I am getting milk goats next year so I need more time for them, too. I think Buff Barred, Mottled and of course, MF, will be my main breeding pens next year for Cochin.

Lil Man and a pullet-

thought i would share mine, if i had to guess i would call him lemon barred. he is a little light to be buff barred, with no black in him at all. but the pattern is straight across the feather (barred) instead of offset like cuckoo. these were a gift from a friend, i would like to find some more to add some diversity and improve type. (i only have 1 hen)

This bantam cockerel is a cross between a red and a buff barred. He came from Aaron in PA. My plan is to use him to breed to my reds and some buffs

Lil Man. I'm both thinking and hoping he has his dads type but I have only yet got one boy that nice and sold him. Isn't that a kick in the butt?
