There are few breeders who have as much experience breeding Modern Game Bantams as Don Bischof, and few who raise high quality birds in so many color varieties. These stylized birds with their length of leg and smooth lines are one of the totally unique breeds in the exhibition poultry world. Small and interactive, these birds are well-suited for 4-H & FFA project work as well as for the serious breeder and exhibitor. Don has raised Modern Game bantams for decades and continually selects for the best length of leg, length of neck, short wing, and wide body across all color varieties. Don handles each bird multiple times as it grows out and only birds that meet Don’s strict selection criteria are made available for sale. We are offering the Modern Games in trios (male & two females), quads (male & three females), and two pair (two males & two females) all for the same cost of shipping – make your choice at check out.

Silver Blue Modern Game Bantam
We take great pride in shipping the vey best birds available. When you purchase from Blue Hour you have the confidence of purchasing from breeders with fifty years or more of experience breeding and selecting standard-bred fowl. We guarantee the birds are true to breed standard, healthy, and shipped using USPS approved boxes. We generally ship on Mondays and Tuesdays. Birds ship USPS Express Mail out of Portland, Oregon. If you would like to pick up at the farm or arrange courier pick up we can work with you to arrange a pick up date. Birds are normally shipped the end of October through the end of May. We do not ship during the summer months due to heat, though pick up at the farm can be arranged year-round.
We put a great deal of effort into making sure the birds we ship are healthy, boxed in USPS approved shipping boxes, and are packed with a source of moisture to reduce travel stress. Birds are shipped FOB Origin meaning the buyer takes ownership of the birds once they leave our hands. We recommend that you contact your local post office and ask them to call you as soon as the birds arrive, and add electrolytes to your birds’ drinking water upon arrival. Limit their feed for the first day. Travel is a stressor so it can take some time for birds to settle into their new environment. We do not offer a shipping refund for delayed arrival. The USPS offers $100 insurance per parcel in the event of loss. If you experience the loss of bird in transit you may request the insurance refund, if you choose to, via the USPS website. This purchase is not refundable.
