I've been wondering the same thing. Thought about making some barnyard mixes with my bantam Cochin X the big girls, but I'd have to do AI. Problem is definitely all those feathers. In the youtube video the vent is pretty readily visible. With mine I think I'd need a 3rd hand to hold all those feathers out of the way!
When it was demonstrated to me (on Bantam Cochins), he held the eye dropper in his mouth through the ENTIRE process - from collection to delivery. That leaves both hands free. I believe in earlier posts Cochinman2005 said he does it the same way, and I've read many others do the same thing.
