Modern Game

The Modern Game is a distinctive breed that carries itself in an erect manner, as if trying to win a height contest. Its arched neck curves into its sleek body. Originally bred from established fighting breeds, the bird's plumage comes in a wide variety of colors. It is bred and kept entirely for show. It requires ample room to roam, prefers higher perches, and does not tolerate cold weather. The breed's slender bodies make them poor meat birds. Hens are not prolific layers, but they are capable brooders.
