Modern game questions ?

[melissa508]

We picked up an adorable pair of young modern games this weekend.
My hubby loved how they sorta pre-historic or wild..very different when your use to looking at silkies.

They are so friendly & have no fear of anything in the barn..I have a few questions.

Will the rooster try to breed to my silkies & if so..can it work?
The tiny little hen..if when my giant cochin roo grows up..would he be after her?..

I dont want to segregate them, but theyre so tiny & cute I dont want them to run into problems.

Also- Im very unfamiliar with the breed, so I have no idea what quality they are..can anyone point me to some good photos of nice quality birds (black)

Modern Game birds are handsome but I believe the roo will breed anything, that is what a roo does. If you have more then 1 rooster, I believe you will need to separate them because your roosters are hardwired to live a life of alpha roo and most of the time, they will fight to their death.
I hope someone can answer you better!

Roosters will be roosters and Modern Game are no better or worse than any other bantam when it comes to aggression.
I have raised many together and they mostly don't have a problem until you separate them and then try to reacquaint them.

If you go to the Modern Game Bantam club website there is a lot of infomation on them.

I ahve a hatchery MGB hen running with the other 60 or so chickens, including 7 roosters. None can catch her but a frizzled cochin.

I have one Modern Game Rooster he's a bantam and I love him to death. He's so sweet and lets you pet him. I have him in with 8 other roosters and 9 hens, they get in little scuffles but nothing bad but I think its because I have Buzz my older dominant rooster who breaks up anything that happens. Yea they'll all breed.
