The Steller Cropper . . .

. . . and the Steller Cropper.

 

This title is meant to draw your atten­tion to a serious sub­ject. The article is about two dif­ferent Cropper breeds - accor­ding to the standard - that ha­ve the sa­me ori­gin in the for­mer Sile­sia and Bohe­mia, but that have grown apart over the years.

BUFF LEGHORNS

a rarity in many countries.

 

It is only seldom that we see Buff Leg­horns. Still they do exist, world­wide and in dif­fe­rent breed types. We thought it is high time to have an in­ven­tory to find out where they are and who is kee­ping them.

Crested  Barbs …

still exist.

 

The following article was sent to us in Ger­man by a pigeon bree­der from Serbia, Josip Pekanović. He describes his “Indianer” - a breed know in En­gland as “Barb”, but he was wri­ting in the Ger­man lan­guage so he used the Ger­man name “Indianer”. In Europe there is a lot off con­fu­sion in this area. In this En­glish ver­sion we stick to the name Barb.

CONCERNING POULTRY

~ feeding fowl ~

 

What is the perfect chicken feed? High pro­tein or lo­wer pro­tein feed? What about molasses in the feed? Are com­mer­cial feeds okay? Dan Honour says: “Do what works for you, but it never hurts to see how others do things. You can always incor­porate and try new things on a trial basis and see”.

THE Sebastopol gEEsE.

Part 1.

 

It does seem remarkable that a dis­tinc­tive breed of goose, such as the Se­bas­to­pol is, re­mai­ned un-no­ti­ced by tra­ve­lers and fan­ciers alike. However, from 1886, and up to the present day, some au­thors have writ­ten with am­bi­gui­ty re­gar­ding the ini­tial im­por­ta­tion of the Se­bas­to­pol Goose.

Upon entering the pigeon show hall of the WTC Expo, you imme­diately no­ti­ced how well every­thing was or­ga­ni­zed. The nice wide aisles be­tween the cages and the beau­tiful new spa­cious avia­ries in the middle aisle made it a plea­sure to be here to enjoy and expe­rience the hobby.
