Frizzle -- shall I try this?

[farmin'chick]

I have a gorgeous pair of white cochin Frizzles. The hen is first generation of the roo on a prize white Cochin. My hen won BB and BV at the Winston-Salem NC show where I bought them. I am thinking it would be gorgeous to put the roo on a Buff Orp... What do you all think?

I doubt he can mount her

You can try AI...

oh he can get the job done, I used to have cochin bantam x BAs running around here, they learn to hold on to her back feathers, not the head. I bet that would make some cute birds.

I'm thinking about getting a silkie roo to cross with my EE & RIRs for some big broodies

Too bad you're so far away -- I have an extra Silkie roo! Actually, 2.

oh drats. well I found a lady on craigslist with some for $5 not to far from me, but thanks for thinking of me. lol

bantam roos can mate standard hens, and seriously, nobody would AI in a situation like this, i mean barely any backyard flock owner bothers with AI, cmon, they are chickens
