breeds photos: The Modern Game
Modern Game were created by British breeders, and are easily recognised
by their tall, reachy appearance. Available in Large fowl and
bantam, but far more popular in the latter, Modern Game are fascinating
birds and are quite hardy. Easy to handle, the males are dubbed
for show purposes. Colour is very important in Modern Game and
there are actually 13 different colour-varieties. Both sexes have
firm, wide shoulders and short, flat backs with the standard calling
for the body to be shaped like a 'smoothing iron' when viewed
from the top. Legs and beaks vary with the colour varieties, from
yellow and whites to willow and black. The Modern Game bantam
has a particularly strong following, and needs to be highly trained
for the showpen.
