Modern game fowl the unusual game fowl from Britain

When you see this chicken you might be surprised because it looks more like a bird such as heron and crame rather than a chicken. It has long legs, similiar to those of a heron or crane, which has long feet. The body is also slim. I wonder the bird can fly for far but the weight is heavy enough. The rosters can reach 3,2 - 4,1 kilogram in weight; while the hen weigh 2,25 – 3,2 kilogram.

The chicken is completely for show only though the bird has heavy body. The egg is so poor so people do not raise the fowl as egg layer.  According to the competition, the good modern should have iron-flat body shape, a relatively short back, fine tail, hard feathering, and a very upright carriage.

You were never guess that the modern game was breed as fighting roster. Since the british government forbad the cockfighting, Since the British goverment banned the cookfighting, the modern fanciers have kept as ornamental chicken. 

The color of modern is red black, birchen, brown red, duckwing and pyle. There are two variation of the modern: one the red eye with dark feet and others is the dark eye with dark feet. Like the game fowl, the bird has red to mulberry comb, wattles, skin. The shape of comb is single with white earlobe. 

The bird is also an ancestor of Serama Chicken beside silkie and Japanese Bantam. The Serama traits it's  broad chest from the Modern. 

I wonder some Serama traits  the high shank from the Modern. It might be a nice variant of Serama.
