Hi TomNY - I didn’t mean to sound as if I was holding the judges to blame for the way the shows go. I appreciate what they do. What I was trying to find out was if the judges, as a whole, have decided to not use red faces when the Standard calls for the mulberry color on Birchen Moderns...
I don’t know how to send a private message but there is another way to show the red faced birds. It won’t help in the breeding program which is the best way, but you can show red faced birds.
I read that in the Standard as well and I didn’t disagree with the judge. Mulberry it is. I have always accepted the judges opinion. The reason I thought this may be something new the judges have agreed on is because last year the red faced bird won the Show Champion male bantam. This year...
I recently went to a show where the judge chose not to use Birchen Modern Game Bantams because the faces were too red. The judge was correct that they are suppose to be mulberry, but have not been so strict on it in the past. Has anyone else witnessed this happening? Than you
We are showing Birchen and Silver Blue Moderns and just started a male line of Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantams. They are so different but both are fun in their own way.
IMy granddaughter showed some Modern Game Bantams this last weekend. She didn’t do well so I investigated for a reason.
These two males have red faces. I learned this is something new among the judges not to use Birchen or Silver-blue Moderns unless they have the mulberry face. I didn’t know...
My granddaughter and I have been showing Modern Game Bantams for several years. Now she wants to also show Old English Game Bantams. We are looking for ideas to buy or build pens to keep these Old English in separate pens to keep rather from ruining feathers while deciding which ones to show.
