Cochins International Online All-Cochin Show
We are very excited to announce that in 2013, www.CochinsInt.com will be sponsoring ONLINE ALL-COCHIN SHOWS! While of course these can’t be APA/ABA sanctioned shows, we will hold them as close to sanctioned guidelines as possible. The shows will be open to everyone, from the experienced showman to junior showman. For those who can’t travel to shows, and for those who may be too timid to enter your first sanctioned show, we hope this is exactly what you have been waiting for! All you need is a digital camera, a computer, and, oh yes - a Cochin! We will be enlisting APA/ABA judges, and not only will they place the birds, but we will also be asking them to provide you with written feedback about your bird’s type and plumage. We want this to be not only fun, but a learning tool as well. In the end, we hope you will use it as a stepping stone to entering your first sanctioned show.
The Winter 2013 Show is our Premier show, and will be held in February. If well received, the plan is to hold three or four shows a year. We have been studying Online Poultry shows in other countries, as well as those held by a few other breed clubs here in the states; so ours will be a compilation of the best features of those shows. Of course, as with any new program, we may have to tweak any issues as they arise, but we will certainly keep everyone informed of any changes that are needed.
Here is the link to the Show Rules and Online Entry Form.
All entry photos will be posted online as they are received, so the public can view them just as they would at a show. Judges' comments and placements will also be posted online once they are received.
So wash those birds, trim those beaks and toenails, charge up the batteries in your camera, and Enter! If you need help with your Show Prep, be sure and visit our Education Page for excellent articles on Show Preparation.
Have Fun, and Enjoy the Shows!
