Ok, I have a few questions about bantam Show quality Cochins

#1-How much should I expect to pay for a hen of very nice quality that conforms to the standard?

#2-How much would you estimate feeding would cost a year per hen?

#3-How many eggs would you expect each hen to lay per year?

#4-What would be a reasonable price/ egg from the hen in #1?

of course if you don't have Cochins your answers are still very helpful!

My hidden agenda: convince my dad that the better quality your flock; the more profitable (or at least less non-profitable

)

Thank you!!

hhhmmmmm I dont know about that! I dont know that show quality birds will make you any more money, unless you are breeding them.

OK, reading again, I think you were talking about breeding them. i really have no idea. I am just rambling on, hoping someone who knows something will see this!

This is based on Orpington figures. Cochins do not lay as well...
