Not too early for cochins. All of my boys except one developed very early just like yours.

I have a few new pictures of my LF cochins. My breeders and my cockrels and pullets. Sorry for so many pic's

My lemon Blue Roo and his girls. Only 2 of the hens

MY Cockrels. Splash and Black

Two pullets. My black and one from my Lemon Blue Project. Sorry the wind was blowing.
All my blues are just in that crapy looking stage right now.

Do you have to use AI on all cochins LF and bantam?

Are they difficult to get chicks from?

No I have large fowl and it may not look gook but I just cut the feathers from there butt and have great hatch rate

I don't AI either size. I just trim the feathers to the skin within 4-5 inches of the vent on the LF and 3ish on Bantam. Then again, I don't show anymore, so I don't have to worry about feather trimming.

Yes if you plan on showing them DO NOT CUT! A show this weekend had 3 DQ's because of this

I never AI (I have bantams) and have had great fertility.
