We were also pleasantly surprised with the 36 participating photos

EASTER EGGS IN THE WELTVOGELPARK in Walsrode(D) Tinamoes look a little bit like dull chickens,
but the structure of tinamou eggs is truly stunning;
effectively there is nothing else like it in the avian world. The colour varies from species to species from chocolate
brown over emerald green to turquoise blue. In common is the smooth surface;
they almost look glazed. By : Simon Bruslund and Wolfgang

CONCERNING POULTRY - The Henhouse - Before purchasing your chickens or chicks, you need
a henhouse or coop. And if your chickens are not allowed out in the garden,
you also need a run. Many Chicken Coop Designs and tips on building a chicken
coop can be found on the internet. Even so, we would like to give you some
important Tips on building a chicken house, because successful chicken keeping (management)
mostly depends on their housing. By : Mick

Isabel in Steiger croppers These experiences on breeding the Isabel colour variety in Steiger
Croppers were already published in the year 2000, on the occasion of the
25th Anniversary of the Dutch Steiger Cropper
Club. Still the subject is very topical, as this colour
variety is one of the most challenging of the breed, although when the
breeder lacks knowledge, the risk of disappointment is very high. By : Aviculture Europe 6 pages - 300 kB

A Brief History of the Swan Goose under Domestication in the West The Rev. E.S. Dixon was well aware of the tangle of
information regarding domesticated Asiatic Geese when he wrote in
1848: “Confusion, therefore, and perplexity are the certain lot of whosoever
attempts to trace this bird in our books of natural history.” How true;
and ensuing writers on poultry helped to confuse the situation even further.
However, to start at the very beginning, it has been recently been established
that the wild Swan Goose existed some 360,000 years ago. By :
