This
hard-feathered old breed arrived in England from Asia, possibly as early
as 1830. It was a very popular fowl in England until it lost favor due to
the popularity of the newly introduced Cochins. One of the Game Fowl,
originally used for cock-fighting, the Malay is quite pugnacious. It is
intolerant of other roosters and may attack anyone who goes near it's
hens. Malays are very tall and appear bold and perhaps cruel due to their projecting eyebrows. They are rugged and have a reputation for vigor and long life. Standard Weights: Cock-9 pounds; hen-7 pounds; cockerel-7 pounds; pullet-5 pounds. Skin Color: Yellow.
