THE STARLINGS OF rOBERT HOORNSTRA We must confess that the main aim of our visit to
Robert was to see his Kraien-köppe bantams (see our
June issue). His Starling Pigeons at this moment are the Big Winners in the
National shows, so we decided to pay some attention to these birds as well. By :

CHICKEN RUN Today we are visiting Henk
van Dijk in IJsselstein
(NL), better known as: ‘Uncle Henk from the Table
with (alive) pet animals’. Henk is 77 years young
and an always dedicated promoter
of our beautiful Hobby. However, only a few will know that he is also a
very skilled breeder of the Rosecomb bantam. So
let’s put this side of Henk in the spotlight. By :

CONCERNING POULTRY LEGS- part 1 Legs don’t come first when describing a chicken.
Still they are important, as they have to support the body. They vary
with the looks of the bird : set well apart in broad birds; over long and
slender in Modern English Game bantams; typically short in Chabo, or feathered all over in Cochins. Apart from
the size, also the color varies: from pale white to deep black. In this article we will discuss the color
of the legs. By : Elio Corti (IT) and Elly Vogelaar (NL) 12 pages - 1260 kB |

Where is René Delin’s Painting “Ghent Cropper”? Under this title, the well-known publicist R.R.P.
van der Mark placed a recall in the magazine Avicultura of August 1978 to find the Ghent Croppers
painting, of which you see an image here. It is not ‘just another painting’;
it concerned Ghent Croppers in the five known varieties, painted by René
Delin in 1927. The paining remained however missing,
until the end of 2008, thirty years after the search operation had started. By :

DELIN In 2005,
at the European Frill days in Houthalen (Belgium) I showed a powerpoint
presentation of René Delin’s paintings concerning the Frill pigeons.
The original work is almost all in the hands of Juul Lauwers from
Mechelen. I hope the readers of this splendid magazine will enjoy my presentation
too. By : Luc Kerkhofs (B) 23 pages - 1 MB |
