CHICKENS IN ICELAND In the summer of 2009, Henk
Kooiman and Karin Pas visited several Icelandic
chicken breeders and came back home in Holland with a beautiful series of
photos of the ‘Viking hens’. We searched for information on the breed, but
all we could find was published in the Icelandic language. However, with
help and information from Jóhanna Hardardottir from Iceland, we are now able to proudly
present you the story on this exotic and unknown chicken breed. By :

MY PHEASANTS It is over 40 years ago that I bought my first pheasant
- a Common Pheasant cockerel - which was pinioned and free-ranged with my bantam
chickens. Sadly, within a few days the bird had disappeared. After losing
more birds, I decided to build my first aviary. By : Jan

CROAD LANGSHANS It’s always a mystery why one person is attracted
to a certain breed of dog… cat… or chicken… but as Secretary of the Croad Langshan club in Britain
I’m often told by new members that they just ‘fell for’ these gentle giants
when they first saw them. By : Lyn Heigl (UK) 11 pages - 935 kB

DWARF GEESE Mr. Tom Bartlett of Folly Farm, Gloucestershire,
when interviewed for Country Living Magazine in the late 1980’s, claimed
that creating a Bantam goose had not been achieved, and he would like to
create such a breed. Had he read Appleyard’s
little book, Geese, he would have known his statement to be imprecise. By :

SOOTY OR CHECKER? While doing my practical examination as a judge, I
was presented with a number of birds of a particular breed. The particular breed was from the colour pigeon group, where a lot of points are allocated
for correct colour and markings. I told my appraisers
that it is not a recognized colour in the breed;
it was not a checker, but a barred bird, with a lot of sooty. I said that I
will one day provide the proof and explanation, and that is what I’m trying
to do with this article. By : Jan
