Visiting three fancy pigeon breeders (NL) Together with Hennie Schwarz,
a known pigeon judge and fancier, we made a tour through the North of Holland,
visiting 3 pigeon fanciers. This would be an extra special day, Hennies presence always giving an extra dimension
to any Trip. He picked out three fanciers for us to visit, each with his
own story and his own breed(s): Joop Logemann in Enkhuizen; Cor Meijer in Zwaagdijk Oost and finally Tabe Kooistra in Leeuwarden. By : Nico van Benten 14 pages - 910 KB |

THE DAMASCENE Indisputable the Damascene is an ancient breed and
several ornithologists have described the breed in the past. The
descriptions were not always alike; sometimes dark eyes were mentioned or a
cream coloured feathering. One even called this breed a white variety of
the Barb. Apart from that the breed was also called Mohammed and surrounded
with certain mystery. It was not before the end of the 19th century, after
having imported the breed form By : Nico van Benten 10 pages - 520 KB |

THE NAKED NECK This unusual looking chicken breed has become
popular worldwide, but its history has stirred - and continues to stir –
numerous controversies. The lack of exact information regarding its
creation (or at least its arrival in Eastern Europe) makes any attempt to
clarify the origins of the breed even more difficult. Moreover, the particularity
of its appearance, the same feature that provided the right name for the
breed, that is the naked neck, even led to strange popular beliefs. By : Bobo Athes (RO) 7 pages - 810 KB |

CHICKEN RUN I’d never had the chance to meet Gerrit
Markvoort (NL), even though as a top breeder of Hamburghs for many years he visits most large and national
shows – we’ve just never managed to be in the same place at the same
time. So I was really looking forward to visiting Gerrit
and admiring his famous Hamburgh and Friesian
fowls. It was certainly a golden day – due to the sunshine, the hearty
welcome and the chickens being even more beautiful than I had expected. By : Elly Vogelaar 10 pages - 800 KB |

THE BOBWHITE Quail are a small kind of poultry. The difference
between hens and roosters is easily seen. Not only because of their behaviour
but mostly because of differences in colouring and/or marking of the
head as well. In most cases the roosters have a well pronoun-ced black and white colouring on the head while the hens
show a sober brown. In this article we will try and tell you some more about
the Bobwhite. By : Dirk de Jong 7 pages - 550KB |
