Wow guys. Not every bird is going to be someones cup of tea. No need to insult any type of bird.
My daughters do 4H. My middle daughter who is 8, is showing a smooth sizzle (silkie cross) and still struggles with a bantam bird like that. I've actually been looking at getting her either a Modern game or an Old English Bantam. They show well, they look clean, and judges like them. The kids who have Modern Game do VERY well in showmanship. The birds are just flashy and want to show off. Old English Bantams are roughly the same size, only without the long legs. IMO, the Moderns show better for the juniors.
