I think are the most beautiful breed of bantam of all the varieties. Mille Fleurs are a beautiful red color with the tip of every feather being pure white which gives an appearance of this bantam being covered with while dots. Mille Fleurs also have very long feathers which totally cover their feet. They also have a beard or muff which adds to their impressive appearance. Cochins will always be a sought after breed of bantam.
Cochins come in a multitude of colors which adds to their popularity.
I think the main reason people really like Cochins is their docile nature. Cochins look a little bigger than other breeds of bantams because they are heavily feathered. Silkies are another well sought breed of bantam by people who are into raising bantams. Silkies are very unique looking which really adds to their popularity. The feathers on a Silkie look more like hair than they do feathers.
