Quote: Nancy, As you know, I'm certainly no expert - still learning like everyone else. But what I am pretty good at is organization, setting an agenda, and (trying) to keep to point.
Here's my idea in slightly more depth, and then I'll get things started in my next post. Hopefully, we can get some serious followers from the other Cochin threads to join in.
Every one to three days, depending on the discussions, we focus on a particular body part as outlined in the Standards. For those that don't have a Standard for LF or Bantams, they can be found on the Cochins International website (on the Breed Standards menu). (The CI website also has excellent articles on the Education menu.) All posts should be question and answer and stay on topic; pictures are absolutely encouraged. Everyone should try and take closeup pictures of whatever we are discussing at that time.
Every one should feel free to ask questions related to interpretation of the Standards; Everyone should feel free to offer their opinions. Every one is invited to post pictures for critique or as an example. No one should post pics of their birds if they do not want their bird critiqued.
Hopefully, we can get some experts to join in when we stumble. Hopefully we will all have fun, help each other, and learn something in the meantime.
