Native to China. Most of the feathers are yellowish brown, but some are white or black. They are characterized by a lot of feathers and leg hair, and their meat is excellent in both quality and quantity. They were imported to Japan around the beginning of the Meiji era, and varieties such as the Nagoya Cochin were created by crossbreeding with native breeds. When they were imported to Europe, they were mistakenly believed to be chickens from Cochinchina, and the abbreviation comes from that. Kukin (nine jin) . (Handbook of Foreign Languages (1912))
