Breed Overview

The amazing ‘Modern Game’ takes its name and heritage from the ‘old English game’. The Old English game fowl was brought to England by the romans in the 1^st century and was then bred exclusively for cock fighting, which was extremely popular for centuries. It didn’t cost a lot to raise a bird up to fight so it became a sport anyone could partake in. It was so popular infact it was introduced into schools as a way to encourage students to show qualities like the old English showed whilst fighting in the ring.

However in 1849 cock fighting was banned in England meaning the Old English Game was ‘retired’ and normally this would have meant that the breed fell into possible non-existence. But it didn’t, it actually stayed very popular as at the time of banning cock fighting a raise in poultry fancying and showing birds began.

After 1849 poultry fanciers began taking their once fighting old English game bird and Malay birds, [the Malay originates from Asia], and breeding them to create the Modern Game.

It was therefore the ‘new’ or ‘modern’ version of the ‘old’ English game.

The modern game was accepted into the American Poultry Association [A.P.A] in 1874 only 25 years after cock fighting was banned in England [it was banned by the royal decree of Queen Victoria] Cock fighting is now illegal in all 50 US states although the last state to ban it was Louisiana, only in 2008.

So the modern game never fought, unlike its ancestors, it was bred only for looks and to ‘show’ at exhibitions. Whilst the old English game has powerful broad shoulders, strong wings and short but tough legs, attributes developed from fighting. Without this need for fighting the modern game began to be develop a very different look to that of its ancestors.

The popularity of the Modern Game peaked around the 1900’s and today the ‘Rare Breed Survival Trust’ in the UK has the breed ‘at risk’. Unfortunately things are no better for the breed in the US, the ‘Livestock Conservancy’ considers the breed as ‘critical’.

The good news is the breed is currently experiencing a revival surge with the Bantam Modern Game being especially popular.

The Modern Game today is a tame, curious bird with long thin legs a long thin neck and a upright body statue a ‘whip’ [pinched tight] tail. They look the part in any backyard!

Modern Game Characteristics

Breed temperament – Are they good as pets?

They make excellent pets as their temperament is personable, curious and some breeders say that they recognize faces and come running over when they do recognize someone. Everyone reports them as having really great personalities, they are special breed for sure.

They are a game bird and as such typically don’t tend to lay well, but the Modern Game does lay fairly well in spite of that. The hens also make for great mothers and will sometime raise up a brood that isn’t their own, they are similar to the Old English game fowl in that instance. They do go broody, generally in the summer, but this is easy to stop.

The Bantam hens can really only fit 2 or max 3 standard sized eggs underneath them, whereas they are able to sit on more of the bantam eggs, roughly 6 or 7.

The standard size hens can sit on roughly 6 standard eggs when brooding and its ok for standard sized birds to sit on bantam eggs and vice versa.

They are good with kids, and kids love the bantam modern game as they are easy to handle with the thin long legs running easily through their fingers with the body of the bird usually fitting in just a single palm.

How many do I need to buy?

It’s never recommended to kept any breed of chickens singularly, they are social creatures that enjoy the company of others within a flock and human company too!

Generally more than one male in a flock isn’t recommended however they will live in a flock with more than male but it does depend on variety and background.

Old English game can be aggressive and sometime all that aggression towards other males isn’t fully bred out of Modern Game birds, so always ask the breed of its breeding lineage.

The best breeding ratio of modern game is 9:1. So for every 9 females you should have 1 male within any flock.

Males are fantastic as they also help to stop bullying amongst the hens and will act as the flocks ‘protector’.

How do I tame Modern Game chickens?

Very easily, they are naturally friendly and inquisitive as a breed. Start by handling chicks 3-4 times a day this will help them build up a bond with you. Then as adults they will be well socialized.

If you don’t have tame modern game and need to catch one for some reason – good luck. Id invest in a net to help, as with their long legs they can run – quickly! It will therefore pay dividends to start taming them!

Another good tip is to play on their natural inquisitiveness and throw them some treats, the cupboard love method usually works. To help bring them over to you and to tame adults, gradually throw the treats closer and closer towards your feet. Before long they will feed from your hands and you will be able to pick them up for a cuddle.

How much space do they need?

Minimum coop requirements for the standard sized modern game is 4sqft [per bird]. Id allow 10 inches roost space width too, again this is per bird. By width I’m referring to the wing to wing measurement.

Minimum coop space required for bantam modern game is less than that of the standard sized game, at roughly 2-3sqft per bird. Again these are minimums, the more space you can afford them the better. Especially as during the winter they will spend a lot of time inside the coop and if you have cold winters, remember they aren’t cold hardy, so will want to keep w
