Try foxhollow. She has some Modern Bantams hatching eggs. Also baregretchen. They are both on BYC.

I agree with pops.
With the red in the face and the arch in the main tail feathers just looks like a little cockerel.

I got 10 from Ideal last spring (2010) All were healthy and arrived alive. (I ordered some other breeds too). Three of them stand up straight and tall and are gorgeous. The others ,although pretty, had long legs but didn't have that upright stance. One light blue roo, actually looks like an old english with long legs. I don't show them so I'm happy anyway. I gave some of the roo's away. If you're wanting Modern Game bantams for your flock, I'd say Ideal is a good place to get'em. If you're into showing or breeding ,I'm not sure. You might want to find a breeder or order 20 or so and see what you get.

I'd buy from them again.............kirt

Since this thread was revived, I thought I would post and tell everyone that the chick was a pullet. She is now the mother of several little Lemon Blue chicks (the father is a Brown Red Modern).

I think I got mine from Ideal also.

I really enjoy them. They are very friendly and come right to me. Nice little birds.

OK MGB newbie here but I have a quick question. How are they for new poultry keepers? I have done the whole poultry thing going on I think 5 years total. Only showing for 2. But my little sister is just now getting into it and she wants "chickens without pants" as she calls them. I'm trying to get her ready for when she takes over the flock when I go to college. She has been begging me for these. Are these a good choice for her? She wants either Brown Reds and Lemon Blues or Red Pyle. Of course she wants to show them because I show Ameraucanas and my mom shows calls.

any input would be helpful
thanks

They don't have any fat on their bodies and are hard feathered so they do not tolerate cold climates. They supposedly can't tolerate sustained temps under 35 degrees. Plan on keeping them indoors or under heat during the winter.
