Welcome to my German Modena Page.
German Modenas are a rare breed and I have been breeding them for abut 8 years
now. They are a very prolific breed and are a lot of fun to watch in the loft.
I really like the Schietti's (selfts) the best, but also do enjoy breeding a
few Gazzi marked birds as well. I'm working on a Magnani project now and have
added a few pic's of the project for you to check out.
We have finally launched the
National German
Modena Club and it is starting to take off. I hope you enjoy this
page and be sure to check out the club's web site.

Magnani Project
I have always liked the look of the Magnani's(almonds) and thought that I
would try and create my own. I was able to run across a nicely marked roller
cock that had a fairly rounded head to use for my project. I put him on a very
good black hen. She was the mother of the 2005 Great Western Champion. Below
is the results of the first cross and I think that he will be a big help to
get me going. I figure that if I get the color and never go back to the
rollers it will probably take about 4 generations to get a good one. Next year
I am going to cross the F1 onto a nice Black Check and we'll see what happens.
