Unfortunately, this is another perfect example of Rule #1 when buying eggs - there is no thing as "Show Quality" eggs.

Not much. I sent several pictures to Linda for consideration and have not heard anything since then. Perhaps Gail has more information.

Casey, I don't know much about the calender, except that Linda is putting one together, and plans to have it available for the fall shows. There was more posted on the CI Forum and Website back in July. The submission deadline has passed - I believe she has what she needs regarding photos.

I'm hoping to get started breeding show quality mottled cochins as I think they are very striking birds. I'd like to raise black, blue and splash mottled. Does anyone have suggestions for who I could acquire some from? I would like to purchase hatching eggs if at all possible, rather than adult birds or chicks.

We have a Cochin Breeder Directory of BYC members - see the link in my sig line. You can also visit the Cochins International website - link also in my sig line.

(Buyer Beware of anyone selling "Show Quality" eggs!)

We are new to chickens on the whole but recently expanded our flock with bantam calico Cochins. Being new I'm not sure if this is a recognized color or not. We have a Black Copper Maran, RIR, blue laced red Wyandotte, 2 sexlinks, blue Americana, 1 rust colored still to be identified and 5 bantam calico Cochins. We started with just one Cochin but fell in love with their sweet temperament. I'd like to learn more about them and welcome any suggested websites or books.
