The Cochin or Pekin Bantams are bred in buff, white, black 

 and partridge and they should be cochins in miniature, with 

 small, evenly and 'nicely serrated combs, broad chest, thick neck, 

 with a short, broad back, with a nicely rounded cushion, with 

 legs very heavily feathered, right to the end of the middle toe. 

 It is hard to say which of the four varieties are the most popular 

 and extensively bred, as large classes in all are seen at the shows 

 and the interest seems to be fairly well divided. Aside from the 

 Games they are the most popular of bantams and many claim 

 them to be equal in popularity to them.
