Cochin

Bird

Cochin or Cochin China, is a breed of chicken. The name Cochin came from the original Chinese name (in pinyin: jiujin huang, pronounced jil jin hwaang), meaning nine jin yellow, erroneously conflated with the then-current names for what are now parts of southern India and Vietnam, where jin is a traditional Chinese measurement of weight. In China itself, the name is actually used for any large chicken or even a dish made from one.
