The Malay is bred principally in Europe,[5] and in Australia and the United States.[2] It was derived, partly in Devon and Cornwall in south-west England,[8] from birds imported from the Indian subcontinent[7]: 158 or South-east Asia in the first decades of the nineteenth century, when large birds of this type were widespread in northern India, in Indonesia and in the Malay Peninsula.[9]
The Malay was the first chicken breed to be bantamised; a dwarf version of the standard-sized breed was created at the turn of the twentieth century.[3]: 169
