I have wanted ads on craigslist, I check craigslist multiple times a day, I have been checking eggbid, the sale forums here, I posted in the wanted forum, I've googled and emailed breeders, searched for and messaged breeders here and so far I haven't found my Cochin
I got a response from one breeder that there may be pullets available in early July, so that's awesome! But I'm soooo impatient. I found chicks on craigslist, but they're all straight run
I just want a pretty pullet or hen, pet quality is just fine. I'd die for a mille fleur but I'm open to so many other colors (black or blue mottled, any laced variety, barred, cuckoo, even splash...) I really didn't think they'd be this difficult to find! I don't want to go through a hatchery because I only want one pullet, and the only hatchery that sexes bantams (MPC) doesn't offer any of the colors I'd want. There's a gorgeous mille fleur pullet on eggbid but since I'm not the least bit interested in breeding or showing I can't see paying $90-100 for one bird. Does anybody have any advice besides waiting it out and seeing what comes up?
wahhhh.
