THE ROMANIAN NAKED-NECK TUMBLER The Romanian Naked-neck Tumbler is a moderately
young breed of pigeon and, as indicated by the name, its foremost trait is
the un-feathered neck resembling the Naked-neck Fowl which originates

and is the result of a completely different and unique mechanism, as
recent discoveries have shown. By :

CHICKEN RUN Dutch Bantams at Jan Voets’ To me, this summer-time visit at Jan Voets in St. Michielsgestel (NL)
almost feels like a holiday, sitting in the sun in his grassy lawn, bordered
with waving green plants and exotic flowers on the one side and enormous
aviaries with parakeets and finches on the other side. The chickens can
free range all over the premises. To me, this is the most natural and pleasant
way to keep chickens ! By : Elly Vogelaar 12 pages - 1165 kB |

EXHIBITION HOMER Anyone who has read about Homer Pigeon Breeds in the
last 15 years must admit that the Exhibition Homer has not only made great advances

Breeders and Fanciers. This is primary due to the breeds Beauty but also to
the dedicated breeders and the idealistic breeding programmes
followed and not lastly to the Judges that have correctly assessed the
breed without pandering to personal agenda of either themselves or individual
breeders. By : Uwe Held (Germany) 5 pages - 465 kB |

CAYUGA DUCKS Writers on the derivation of the Cayuga Duck have,
over time, made more or less the same assertions regarding its
origin. There is evidence to support
one portion of this theory, but, mostly, it is an inaccurate assumption;
as will be explained. By :

CONCERNING POULTRY - FEATHER COLOUR - The colouring of our fancy
poultry breeds derives from the Jungle Fowl; a type of colouring
that is known as ‘wild type’ colouring and is based

Breed known here for many decades and with many breeders, the ‘Modern’
Oriental Owl. In co-operation with theGeflügel Börse and Mick Bassett (Germany) 9 pages - 1.3 MB |
