258 PROFITS IN POULTRY. 
hardly any loss among the chickens. A very desirable 
cross. 
Indian Game and Houdan.— Plumage black, or 
slightly mixed with white, small crests. Cockerels have 
flesh colored legs, and pullets dark legs. Are active, 
grow quick, and fairly hardy. There is not much dif- 
ference in size between cockerels and pullets. Are uni- 
form in appearance. 
Indian Game and Golden Wyandotte.—In plumage 
and appearance most like Golden Wyandotte. Markings 
uniform. Fairly hardy, quick, active, and plump at 
anyage. Disposition rather excitable. Cockerels much 
larger than pullets. But slight loss among chickens. 
Indian Game and Buff Cochin.—None but pullets 
reared. Similar in plumage and appearance to Light 
Brahma cross. Not so closely feathered, legs shorter 
and more feathers on them. Larger and brighter comb. 
White Wyandotte and Light Brahma.—In appearance 
between the two. Both rose and single combs appear. 
Body more stocky than Brahma, legs shorter, plumage 
faded and muddy. Show more red in comb and face 
than Brahmas. Disposition quiet; good feeders and 
hardy. Cockerels grow very large. 
White Wyandotte and Indian Game.—Plumage simi- 
lar to Silver Wyandotte, dark with gray neck; breast 
feathers in pullets slightly spangled with white; legs 
and neck short; rose comb. Grow quickly, and are 
always plump and hardy. Pullets are excellent layers. 
Cockerels not much larger than the pullets. A desirable 
cross. 
Hondan and Partridge Cochin.—Plumage a mixture 
of the two. Small crests; legs both light and dark, and 
feathered ; active, quick growers. 
Judging from these experiments, the raiser of market 
poultry will not make a mistake if he crosses Indian 
Game cockerels or cocks on Light Brahma hens, or on any
