The Steiger Cropper

 

The Steiger Cropper is a breed well worth your atten­tion. It has several fea­tures that make the breed very special. How­ever, to get to know these special points, you have to ex­pe­rience this breed in your own loft, be­cause you will not see the Breeds real cha­rac­ter at a show.

FLORIDA STATE FAIR

February 2011

 

What a great time and a wonderful show of pigeons pre­sen­ta­tions at the Fair. Hun­dreds of per­sons vi­si­ted the pi­geon ex­hi­bit, as­king lots of ques­tions, tou­ching, hol­ding the birds. The chil­dren and the adults were hap­py and in awe in hol­ding a pigeon for the first time.

BRAKEL AND

BRAKEL BANTAM

 

The Brakel is a light breed, although quite large. With their bar­red mar­kings they are very at­trac­tive birds-eye­cat­ching both in the yard and the show pen. They can be kept in pens, but they prefer to free-range, which is the way they have been kept around Bel­gian farm­hou­ses since an­cient ti­mes.

PIGEONS IN INDIA

 

Several pigeon breeds are exclusively found in India. The uni­que fea­ture of the In­dian pi­geon breeds is that they are extre­me­ly beau­tiful and also fly very well; the ma­jo­rity of the breeds are High flyer Pi­geons. In India there are very few fancy pi­geon bree­ders and shows are not con­duc­ted be­cause there are no clubs de­di­cated to fancy pi­geons.

OUR MOORHEN CHICK

 

Our oldest son brought it with him .... He and his girl­friend had noticed the chick  loud­ly squeak­ing wal­king along a cycle-track. For­tu­nately, they have com­mon sense and at first left the baby bird where it was. But in the eve­ning, on their way back home, they found the chick was still walk­ing around loudl­y squeak­ing. They looked around but could not find a mom or not even any other birds and thus decided to take the chick home.

CONCERNING POULTRY

What is wrong with that egg?

 

Only once in a thousand times it hap­pens that there is some­thing wrong with the egg. Some of these occur­ren­ces are very hard to ex­plain and will cer­tain­ly not hap­pen each time your hen lays an egg. Others can be ex­plai­ned and in some cases - when your hens regu­larly lay ‘bad’ eggs, we hope you will find a reason - and solution - in this ar­ticle.

THE HISTORY OF THE

FRILLBACK PIGEON

in the United Kingdom

 

Exactly where the Frillback originated will pro­ba­bly never be known, how­ever the Orient is com­mon­ly accep­ted as the area of ori­gin. One un­ques­tionable fact is that the Frill­back is one of the ol­dest breeds. Frill­backs were being bred in England as early as the first half of the eigh­teenth century.
