Now dont get me wrong i am been told i am nuts for showing Akitas for the last 20 years, and i have been called even worse when the unsuspecting ask me the price for a show pup ($1500-$2500) but i got to checking out eggbid.com and came across this auction http://eggbid.com/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=1204608606
Not
knowing chickens could someone elaborate as to what has the bidders so interested with 5 days left? Thanks in advance for your (i am sure you will be kind to a newbie

As with any specialty animal... they can get expensive. So it wold be just like your situation and the dogs. I've even heard of koi going for tens of thousands of dollars. And that's "just a fish".
 
Just like the dog world. Shows won by parents, breed color rarity, and breeder reputation all go together to determine price. I have seen a single show bird go for over $1000.00
 
Hmm. I'd say that's a bit much, considering I've seen much nicer mille fleur cochins. But, it's a new variety, and people want to get their hands on it before it really looks right I suppose.

I can't wait to see how the mille fleur cochins look in a few years, once people have been able to spend more time on it. Should be pretty.
 
There's another post on here as well about the same subject. I'm pretty experienced when it comes to cochins, and those are very poor cochins. Their type is terrible, and the color is poor. The female is way, way, way too light, and the male looks like someone threw red, black, and white paint at him. I might pay $20 for that pair, but no more.
 
I was surprised at the bids on the mille fleur cochins.

I guess the color comes first and the type will come along as others breed these birds....hopefully.
