Nankin standard from antiquity (McGrew)

[cuban]

The Bantam Fowl, Thomas F McGrew, USA, 1903. Quoted from The Nankin Bantam by Mark Fields, North Carolina: ALBC, 2006.

The hen's general clolor is a clear buff, like a Buff Cochin. Dark, medium and light colored birds are found among them. Most of them have a shaded or penciled hackle, but this, with tails brown, shading into black at the ends.
