Large Moderns

(Standard Moderns in USA)

January 2006

We're delighted to have another small showcase of Large Birchens and Large Silver Blues. This time kindly allowed by Jennifer Floyd from California, USA.

To my knowledge we have none of these colours in the UK, so it is nice to get to see them. Thank you Jennifer.

We are delighted to receive some photos from Ed Vasquez from Sante Fe, New Mexico. Ed is renowned for his 25 years of keeping large game birds being a breeder of pit game, american game, oriental game, oeg carlisle type, etc. as well as colours in Large Moderns a lot of us have never seen.

Because many of the large colours were extinct, Ed has had to remake them. Using his breeding skills to selectively cross other breeds and even bantams to make the large.

His gene pool of whites/blacks/blues has taken 10 years to develop crossing black bantams to large brown reds and then black pit game. Ed still has a year to go but is getting there.

Thank you Ed for sharing your pictures. Email Ed
