Does Anyone know where I could buy LF Brown Red Cochins eggs?

Thanks

I'm looking for 1-2 Dozen Silver Laced Cochin Large fowl hatching eggs shipped to Oklahoma. Or I am looking for breeds not found locally that lay a brown or chocolate eggs and are a broody breed! If you have anything like this please PM me thank you!

I got a dozen gold and silver each from a guy in Callie I think it was off of ebay. decent hatching but that may have been me since I'm still working on better hatch rates.

As for the Brown Red I would look at Sylverfire on ebay. Laurie is her name and she is in Hudson NY - Not sure she is on BYC but her eggs are amazing. I just won an auction from her an got 5 Blue Red Standard Cochin eggs that are due to hatch the first week of May if all goes well - very excited. Her Silkies and Jersey Giants are amazing to so I think she must have great stock.

Do you plan to use him for showing? I know that we had to really trim up our Partridge Bantam Cochins- both the girls and the boy- we trimmed the top and bottom area around the vent before we had fertile eggs to hatch. Good Luck

theres a very informative video on AI on youtube. if you want to show you cant trim because you need to take a lot off

Here is the link to that video. It is very informative:
