I bought this tile this past summer, and keep it by my incubator. I may move it to my grow out pens. I think Lao Tzu must have raised Cochins!

I need to find a way to do a video of AI Cochins. It is so easy once I actually figured it out. Karl Rau's article was more help to me than the You Tube video. I demonstrated to a friend how to AI while sitting on a bench at the Iowa State Fair this August. She now AI's the Cochins at her place with no trouble.

I remember several years ago, I had to learn to AI and I worried I wouldnt get it right and all of that. Then, it was explained and demonstrated to me, and after doing it a few times myself realized that there isnt a whole lot to it. I dont AI my birds now, I prefer to let nature takes its course, but im sure it will come in handy in the future, especially while working on the Reds.

That is an excellent article. I like the part that if you fail to succeed the first try to put your rooster back and do not attempt it again for two days. So the rooster is not stressed.


Coyotes were at my coop last night digging. It looks like they were trying to dig out that creature(s) that lives under my coop. .:/

Wow! This is a busy thread. 93 new messages worth.

The mottle gene causes white tips on the feathers, not black. This is an example of a partially laced GLC.

Please educate the uneducated.. What is this yellow thing on his face? Something to constrict the vision?

The rooster

The previous picture you had posted, this guy almost looked like he had silkie feathers, here not so much. I'm wondering if there's a possibility for a Silkie/Cochin to look like this?

Looks more like a wet frizzle to me. When mine was wet, his feathers looked more silkie-ish.

You're probably right. I'm not that familiar with frizzles.

Go back to about to post 11380 or so and we went over this. It is a peeper. It cuts down on pecking and fighting. I posted an add that went over installing them. It blocks or restricts much of the forward vision.
