I would highly recommend modern game for anyone looking to keep a unique and interesting breed. They are very sweet and friendly, don't take up much room and are adorable foragers as they're so tiny. I have also found them to be very good layers - on par with my wyandotte bantam. So go and buy yourself some! I promise you won't regret it. From their size you probably wouldn't expect much in the way of eggs but they lay equally as well as Peking Bantams and with eggs of a similar size.
Their quirky personalities and friendliness make them charming additions to a enclosed garden, though be aware that these are great climbers and their nosy nature will take them into bushes and onto anything that may resemble a perch, if you wish to keep these as garden birds then make sure it is well enclosed. The modern game body shape means that flight is minimal, they can jump quite high and will glide back down to the ground in the same way most pekings do.
They do not need their wings clipped as this is their number 1 defence mechanism against cats etc. For appearance I gave them 5 stars but really it's in the eye of the beholder, the colour varieties are delightful as are the long legs and beautiful shape of the body.
If you're breeding them then appearance and shape is everything, on show birds they are remarkably stunning and very distinct.
Handling wise as with all chickens you need to begin early, mine adore cheese and mealworm so regular hand feeding brings them on quickly. They will climb all over you to get something tasty and will relax when held correctly.
They are so tiny they can sit in the palm of your hand. They make great companions and are very easy to tame, they love people and company and will be your gardening buddy! A super little bird that will make a wonderful addition to your ornamental back garden flock. Modern Game Hens are fairly easy to look after, they can be flighty and skittish if frightened but are reasonably robust for such a small bird.
They can be housed in mixed flocks provided the other birds have gentle natures. Ideal with other delicate Bantam chickens such as Polish and Faverolles or with our big gentle pure breeds.
