Pekin chicken
The Pekin is a breed of chicken, and a True Bantam of Chinese origin. They are rather short, and often only 20-30 centimeters tall. The Pekin possesses a wealth of feathering about their feet and legs, quite nearly obscuring them. The breed is remarkably popular, and seems to almost encompass the gamut of chicken colours. There is considerable debate concerning whether or not Cochin Bantams are Pekins or miniature Cochins.〔
==History==
The first Pekins are alleged to have been looted from the private collection of the Emperor of China at Peking (now known as Beijing) by British soldiers towards the end of the Second Opium War around 1860. However, some sources suggest that a consignment of birds from China around 1835 were given to Queen Victoria, assuming the name of 'Shanghais' and that these birds were bred with further imports and were developed into the breed we know today as Pekins. The Pekins first brought to the United Kingdom are said to have been Buff in colour, with Blacks and Cuckoos arriving later on.〔(The Pekin Bantam Club of Great Britain )〕 They are known in the United States and Canada as Cochin Bantams.
