I keep mine on clean deep shavings and wire. Cochins naturally have pretty strong foot feathers, much stronger then my silkies, they hardly ever break foot feathers unless in a breeding pen or cockerels fighting with eachother. For that reason alone I don't keep my cochin cockerels together when they get of breeding age.

I am not quite understanding. How can you keep Cochins on wire and still have deep bedding? Doesn't the bedding fall through the wire? I have read about this in different forum posts and would really like to understand how this is done.
Thank you
