    Mulberry face on Birchen Moderns

    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

    Modern Game Bantams

    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...

    Coops for exhibition poultry

    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.

    Modern Game Bantam Show

    Collin County Texas held a Poultry show this week. My granddaughter entered a cockerel, cock, and 4 pullets. She had the champion bantam male of the show with a Birchen. It was a blast with some really good birds.

    Dubbing

    I had a pair of curved scissors given to me by a veterinarian. They were great, but have been misplaced. As soon as it cools off, I will be dubbing birds for the fall/winter shows. I would be interested in any recommendations you OEGB or Modern game bantam exhibitors might have.

    Loss of chick

    I had a half grown Old English Game Bantam in a pen made of 1in. X 2in. wire. I went out this morning the chick was dead. It appears that his head and hackle feather had been went and matted. His eyes were closed. Personally, I think it was a snake due to the chick being in the wire cage...

    Incubation Question

    If you have a Nurture Right 360 Incubator containing candled viable eggs on their 12th day, the turner will be turned off in 6 days. Can eggs be added before turning off the turner and have the new eggs to withstand the 3 days without being turned? Thanks

    Egg fertility question

    Can someone remind me how long a hen needs to be with the rooster before her eggs are fertile? It seems that her third egg will be fertile, but I can’t recall. My granddaughter wants to hatch chickens from the incubator. Thanks to all, Larry

    Modern Game Bantams

    I am getting some Birchen Modern Game Bantams and this will be my first experience with these neat birds. Years ago I raised and showed Old English Game Bantams, OEGB’s. There were some good show birds produced by years of linebreeding. They were linebreed to the point that some female show...

    Showing Modern Game Bantams

    I have been looking for show quality Modern Game Bantams and have a question about their breast. All of them that I have handled has a deep keel bone. How much of the keel should be covered by muscle. Thanks, Larry
