or English Game is bred for his belligerent qualities. The 
Games bred for exhibition purposes must show height, 
flerceness, strength and an ex- 
tremely upright stature. Cor- 
rect plumage is also of impor- 
tance in winning prizes. 
15. Fancy fowls——Many dis- 
tinct breeds and types belong 
in this list. The most promi- 
nent are the Bantams, Silkies, 
Sultans and Frizzles. The 
Game fowls belong to the 
fancy classification, as do also 
Polish and Hamburg varieties. 
RED: FIT, GAME The Bantams are the smallest, 
and are not only proud little creatures, but handsome also. 
Birds of this class are bred as pets or ornaments and not 
for eggs or meat. 
It must be said, however, that Polish and Hamburg 
varieties while too 
small for the table are 
excellent layers of fair- 
sized eggs. They are 
almost non-sitters, so 
cannot usually be re- 
lied upon for hatching. 
Polish fowls are unde- 
sirable on the farm be- 
cause their topknots 
prevent their seeing 
hawks. Game fowls are specially good as mothers, be- 
cause they will fight enemies. They are rather poor 
layers but fair table fowls.
