38 HOW TO HATCH, BROOD, FEED AND PREVENT 



Buff Cochins 



These are large massive fowls, profusely feathered, and have a very 

 fine carriage. They are good layers, and will, under favorable circum- 

 stances, compare with the Leghorn class for winter laying, while for a 

 market fowl they far exceed them. Like all Asiatics, they are rather later 

 in maturing than those of the American class. They are heavily feathered 

 and well adapted to cold climates. They breed true to color and are very 

 docile fowls; can be easily yarded by a low fence and wire netting.
