Cochin Bantams and Frizzle Cochin Bantams!!

Thanks for the tips.

I have three really nice pullets from Jamie Matts, plus the cockerel. I'm somewhat afraid to try my "hand" at breeding. For some reason the double copy hen has stopped laying. Would I start AI'ing her before she is back to laying again? I would say the cockerel and I both need the practice since I've never done it before.

Are you going to enter your birds in the On-line show with Cochins Internatnional? I'm going to try to get photos of the birds I got from the breeder and enter them. I guess I need to bath the splash at least.
It often takes me a few weeks to train a new bird to AI though some are easy and need no training. I am not planning on entering this time. I am getting ready for a show this weekend and am not washing my birds in time for the pictures to do the online show this time. I will try to get pictures of some good Cochins at the show for all to see.

If you have any questions about AI or anything else PM me and I will try to answer

Thanks, I probably will PM you about AI.

I spent half the day trying to get pictures of my Cochins for the on-line show at Cochins International. It was windy and late in the afternoon, so the lighting was bad and the feathers were blowing. I ended up washing the heavily feathered splash pullet totally and she wasn't completely dry when I tried to take pictures. I'll probably redo all the pictures tomorrow, and be smart about it and get some help. The foot pictures just didn't work with a big camera in one hand and a chicken in the other. The instructions ask to show the shank, but there are so much feathering, I don't know how to do that.
