Cochin Thread!!!

I fig this out by...

Bleach: cause I clean out horse water troughs and when dumping water... Worms pore out of ground. However they die shortly after if using heavy bleach. But I collect them and toss into a clean bucket of fresh water to rinse them off.

Mustard: I was cleaning out a gaming cooler a bottle of mustard leaked into. I dumped it and washed with water and too worms pored out of ground.

I am pushing it where I live now to have the two roosters I have (my serama for my bantam coop and a polish for my standard coop) so I can't get a cochin rooster for my cochin pullets, but if love some cochin or serama mix babies.

Hi, I'm hatching out my first cochin eggs in about 9 days. I should be getting a variety of different colors, is there any sex link or auto sexing to this breed? I've read how calm the hens are but how are the Roos? Are they loud and proud with their crowing or mild and quiet like the hens? Any info would be great, Thanks

I have 2 partridge cockerels getting big right now. They are pretty calm and cool, but aren't crowing yet. They spend most of their time evading my BCM rooster.
