How far in advance are you going to get them washed up? At least a week in advance is a good rule of thumb for Cochins. Should be a good turnout for the Cochin Class. I will be there and have entered 26 Bantam Cochins and 5 Large Cochins. The total show number is 2700+ which is a record for the show aside from when they hosted the ABA National.​

I'll be washing them tomorrow Morning and then putting them in the basement to drip dry in wire bottom cages b/c we have a nice warm spot from our woodstove. I always wash them at least 5 days in advance to allow them time to preen and get the oils flowin again

Glad you are going!! I'm only showing 4 bantams and then I entered 8 Silkies too. Yeah I heard this was a big one for them. I am not going with high expectations only to go and have a good time and soak up some good eye candy. What color Bantams are you showing? Will you be selling any stock at this show? I am in need of a white and a black pair badly. I need some new blood for breeding this spring.

Thanks! I'm sooo in love with them even if they aren't show quality

 

[Funky Feathers]

Thanks! If I remember correctly those are pet quality? My top quality ones look way better than those. They did turn out nice for PQ.

 

[KDailey]

Yep pet quality. But I love them no matter what! The mille fleur rooster and the little whashed-out splash hen are my all-time favorites our of all my birds I have
