Modern Game fowl
The Modern Game is a breed of ornamental chicken which originated in England between 1850 and 1900.〔 Purely an exhibition bird, Modern Game were developed to be most aesthetically pleasing and to epitomize the visual appeal of the gamecock or fighting cock.
==History==
After the outlawing of cockfighting in Britain in the mid-19th century, many cockfighting enthusiasts turned to breeding for shows as an alternative poultry hobby, and the Modern Game was developed from crosses of Old English Game and Malays. Despite being classified as game chickens (i.e. of cockfighting derivation) in breed standards, Modern Game were not bred to fight.
Game, as they were then called, were included in nine colours in the ''Standard of Excellence in Exhibition Poultry'', the first edition of the British Poultry Standard, in 1865; a Game bantam was also included.〔 Eight colours of Game were included in the first edition of the Standard of Perfection of the American Poultry Association in 1874.〔
