Good luck Mrs Fluffy Puffy! My new want is the self blues. I gotta have some.

Me too. My neighbor is incubating some for me. I hope I get some to hatch. I got them in the mail and that drops fertility rates.​

I have seen a lot of gold laced birds have a lot of white on them at different ages but I think it will molt out. He is a nice little boy.

Could those be considered "Self Blue" Cochins?

Question for you breeders who ship your birds all over the country (especially you, cochinman2005!) - what do you vaccinate your birds for? I have those Blue & Black Mottled eggs (and a few of my own Columbian eggs

) in the 'bator due next weekend and I'm ordering some Marek's vaccine tomorrow - is there anything else I should give them? I was eying the Newcastle-Bronchitis vaccine, thinking that might be a good thing to do.

I heard something about a confirmed case of Newcastle in a flock a few hours north of me a few weeks ago.

I probably won't be keeping all these chicks, and I want them to be protected wherever they end up!

I would do lots of research before I vaccinate for anything. It's really according to what your intensions are and how big of a flock you have.

I Dont vaccinate anything. I think with good biosecurtity , healthy birds, and common sense used you don't need to vaccinate. I will be shipping my first birds soon (maybe) and they will be un-vaccinated. Now if i ever had a respiratory disease or anything viral, I wouldn't ever sell my birds.

Earlier this summer I posted pictures of my blue cochin/buff orpington babies. I wanted to share a picture of one of the hens now that she's almost to laying size. I think they're so pretty! I have five hens and a rooster all with the same pattern (buff in front, blue in the back, with black heads) so I am going to breed them next year and see what the next generation looks like.
