A VISITE AT Wim te Brake in Aalten In 1960 the Dutch Croppers came in his loft and
until today, the Tiger Dutch Cropper is his specialty. Since the last years
he also has Red and Yellow Tiger Dutch Croppers, but showing these pigeons

thus rare varieties. By :

CHICKEN RUN Visiting fanciers during the Show season guarantees
photos of perfect mature chickens, but for me, visiting fanciers in spring
is more fun, such as on this beautiful day in May. The landscape had turned

CONCERNING POULTRY - FEATHERS - As anyone who has ever stepped into the poultry pavilion
at any country show or fair will tell you, not all chickens look the same.

might think that a feather is a feather, but when it comes to chickens
this just isn't so! By : Greg
