GAMES AND ORIENTALS 103 



The Cochin Bantam is a good layer, not only that, but if you want 

 eggs in winter and have just the smallest kind of a yard with a small 

 tight-roofed box to set in it, you can have eggs all winter long for 

 your own table. Then, if well fed and hatched early they make a 

 good, big plump broiler that nothing can beat, and they can be raised 

 just as easy as any kind of feathered birds. The hens are good sitters 

 and good mothers, protecting with all the powers at their command 

 the chicks entrusted to their care. If they see they are likely to get 

 their 'brood hurt by cats or anything too large for them, they will 

 set up such a commotion that the whole neighborhood will turn out, 

 thinking it is a fire. 



It is safe to say that the little fellows have more than their share 

 of intelligence. Cochins and Brahmas are among the very best of 

 the Bantam family and while they like petting, they do very well if 

 just fed and given ordinary care. 



Standard weights for all Cochin Bantams are same as that for 

 Brahmas.
