Modern game bantams...

[NYREDS]

For what it's worth "stilty" is not a desireable characteristic in Moderns.

Hi! My apologies for use of improper terminology.
They all *look* "stilty" to me.

edited to add: I need blues --- SO cute!
edited again: I traded a few years ago with a fellow and got my original trio --- no idea where he got them from. I had never seen them before then.

What should I call it instead of stilty?

I thought they were supposed to be sort of leggy and stand upright?

The little guys are not really upright, not yet, but more so than my other chicks.

Hi! That's what it says in ASOP:
" A high stationed Game fowl with a style and carriage peculiar to itself..."

See, I need one of those standards. I don't have one, obviously.

Well, they certainly are a little peculiar! Neat!

There you go.
A good Modern is also sometimes said to have good reach.
A stilty bird tends to have it's thighs too far forward creating an out-of-balance appearance. They will often wobble when they streach upright.

Thanks! I didn't know any better.
Lemon Blue is not listed in my book as an accepted color --- would the standards for Brown Red MGB be the same? just with blue replacing black?

If I am not mistaken when breed for Lemon Blues you would breed a Brown Red to a Lemon Blue and you should get about 50% each color...
I also think that if you breed Lemon Blue to Lemon Blue you will get 25% Brown Reds, 50% Lemon Blues, 25% Splash. Then if you breed the Splash back to a Lemon Blue you will get 50% Lemon blue...

Yes, Lemon Blue, Silver Blue and Blue Red in Moderns all follow Mendel's law for Blue but only use Blacks and Splashes form Blue matings or the blue will be uneven. Most of the Brown Reds that come from my Lemon Blues are not much good for showing because of color faults ( Shafting in the breast lacing and Stippling on the back). Blue covers most of these color faults, but it is also why it is hard to get good lacing on a female. Especially in Silver Blues.

Catherine, I'll send it tonight.
