 sirable In color. Buff Cochins are nearly ae 

 large as Brahmas, but different in sLape ; are 

 more fluffy, deeper and broader astern thai 

 the Brahmas. Buffs are practically found to 

 be hardy and good layers during the winter 

 months, and if not too old. and kept in good 

 condition, will moult and lay early and con- 

 sequently become broody early ; and those 

 who wish to have early chickens can use them
