Trimming fluff and cushions on cochin hens

[Godiva]

I have no experience whatsoever with AI but we do have to trim our one good quality cochin pullet because otherwise we end up with balls of poop stuck to her!!! I hold her upside down while DH trims her, it is pretty much a hack job, but none of the others seem to be laughing at her and at least she doesn't reek! I need to learn how to bathe her next... waiting for warm weather and the time to read up about it. And even though it was a hack job she gave me some fertile eggs to hatch a few months ago. She has since quit laying of course...

I don't know about your hens, but mine were less than impressed with their new coiffure
