SHIPPING

HATCHING EGGS

 

It is expensive to ship live birds. The airline contracts with the postal service seem to go through regular cycles of dis­rup­tion.

 

Shipping hatching eggs is just about the only means of getting new blood.

ANCONA

season 2010/2011

 

The Ancona is now gradually be­co­ming rare. It seems that the Me­diter­ranean races have become com­ple­tely out of fashion. The Anda­lusian and Minorca - both being important his­to­rical breeds - are hardly seen at our shows. Fortu­nately the quality of the now­adays Dutch Ancona is still good. Better than 25 to 30 years ago. But there are just too few breeders.

CHIBI & TOSA CHIBI

 

Bert Stantema, lives in a small village in Fries­land, and occu­pies his time with bree­ding Chibi and Tosa-Chibi. Both breeds are scar­cely found in Holland and very rare. Both Chibi and Tosa-Chibi have simi­la­ri­ties with the Ko-Shamo, known every­where in Europe. These two breeds are also rarer than the Ko-Shamo in Japan.

 

With our thanks to Bert Santema.

A Brief History of the

Swan Goose under

Domestication in the West

Part 2

 

In his book Water Birds (1805), Tho­mas Bewick stated to be acquainted with more than one form of the ‘Swan Goose’. How­ever, the con­fu­sion really starts for poul­try lite­rature when, in 1806, William Turton M.D., presents three va­rie­ties of “Chinese Goose.”

CONCERNING POULTRY

-smell and taste-

 

In our former issues, we wrote about Sight and Hearing, but how about the re­mai­ning senses in poultry? You pro­ba­bly often ex­pe­rien­ced that your chic­kens will eat certain treats before others and won­de­red if they can taste or smell what the treats consist of.
