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. By : Geri Glastra 6 pages - 450 kB |

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." From the book ‘Fancy Pigeons’ by James C. Lyell. Photos : Scott Sharp (UK) 4 pages - 525 kB |

concerning poultry 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. By : K.J. Theodore (USA) 5 pages - 745 kB |

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. By : Mick

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. By :
Jonathan M. Thompson (USA) and Aviculture
