a roo pulled out my poor girls tail. Now i cant show her till she molts. how old do u think she is. i bought her from a breeder. he said she was a year old when i got her. so she would be two now. does she look about two years old. and u think she would be good for showing when her feathers come back in. i show with the breeder and he always gets grand champion chickens. she came from his champion pair. shes a standard buff cochin

We would need better pics to be able to tell her quality. You want to get her to assume to correct pose, have a solid bacground (blanket or towel on a chair), and get a clear, crisp pic of the side and back, and one of her face.

Thank you everyone for the info on my Cochins vent feathers and bathing them. Much appreciated, you guys are great!

All advice given here was good and accurate. My one concern is that I have quite cold winters and would never trim a bird if it was not going to grow feathers back before winter. That is one of the reasons I pluck. Also I can not show a trimmed bird.

Im not going to show them, the lady I got them from entered them in a country fair show and 3 won best of trio and the one hen one first place, but who knows what the competition was, lol. Think i'll forgo the vent trim, pluck until maybe spring--but they are getting a bath--Im sure that will be a scene, they will probably freak out, right? One lady said she blows hers dry with a hair dryer and they love it, I can't imagaine that!! Wow!@

Mine don't mind when I have used a hair dryer. They won't stand for high heat. Medium setting or low and they do not seem to mind.

Only chicken people can understand this....

I found a red bantam cochin pullet - after searching for what seems like forever. I am soooo happy!
She's nothing to write home about, but I have a plan

Her name is JANE

Tarzan (avatar pic) will be very happy too, I hope!
