SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL

 

Belgium is one of the smallest coun­tries in the Euro­pean Com­mu­nity. Or at least was, be­fore the exten­sion with even smal­ler coun­tries like Estonia or Malta. Belgium is well known for its ban­tams. Which are true ban­tams! But Bel­gium is also well known for its egg laying birds like Brakel (Cam­pine) and, last but not least, its huge game birds.

ISABELLA

 

This new colour variety was re­cent­ly re­cog­ni­sed in stan­dard Leg­horns and Brahma ban­tams. It is a variety of the Par­tridge-bred Black-red co­lour, where the black is re­pla­ced by la­ven­der. Due to the la­ven­der gene, the red and gol­den parts of the plu­mage are dilu­ted to soft orange or crea­my light straw colour. Even the gol­den grey-brown ground and the sal­mon breast colours are no­tice­ably diluted in the females.

THE ALMOND COLOUR

 

It has always been a matter of spe­cu­la­tion, where the Almond Tum­bler got its name of, and it has ge­ne­rally been sup­posed that it was so called from the almond nut-colou­red fea­thers which compose its ground tint. The nut itself, as well as the shell, both inside and out­side, in all sta­ges from ripe to rotten, have been fixed on by au­tho­ri­ties as "the rea­son why."

The Emotional Side

of Raising Poultry

 

If I wanted to write a column on the ‘most fre­quent­ly as­ked ques­tions’, I’d have to inclu­de this topic, since I get more email and calls about the heart­break of the loss of a bird than I do about every­thing else com­bi­ned (from men as well as women). This would in­clu­de fran­tic ap­peals for some­thing - any­thing that a Fan­cier could do to avoid the in­evi­table when dea­ling with an incu­rable disease or a de­vasta­ting injury. So I think it is time for some­one to address The Emo­tional Side of Rai­sing Poultry.

OCHRE MARKED BREAST

COLOUR IN 'LARK'

COLOURED BREEDS

 

This article is to try and de­mon­strate the Ochre Chest Colour found in Lark Marked Breeds and as a Gol­den Crescent-Collar in the Swiss Lucerne (a very old Breed). Com­pare these Breeds with Pic­tu­res of the Nurem­berg Lark in Lark Mar­ked, Bar and Bar­less, the Nu­rem­berger is in the same Colour series as these Breeds but with the Ochre colour taken to its extreme and the Black/White Markings of the Lark marked taken to its finest ex­pres­sion.

THE ORPINGTON 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.

 

With some insight into the Cook family… feuds, jealousy, a string of husbands, explo­ding chandeliers.
