AMERICAN SHOW RACER

 

After the 15 years we have had the breed in Europe, I have un­for­tu­na­tely come to the con­clu­sion that we have made lit­tle pro­gress, in fact we ha­ve stood still. In ge­ne­ral, the gap be­tween Eu­rope and Ame­rica, as the Coun­try of ori­gin, was be­co­ming wider and wider. It ap­pears now, after 15 years in Eu­rope, some ef­fort is being made to fol­low the Ame­rican Stan­dard of Ideal.

CHABO or

JAPANESE BANTAM

 

The Japanese Bantam - also known as Cha­bo - is an ori­gi­nal ban­tam breed which has spread across the world from Japan. It is a very old breed - some hun­dreds of years - and it found its way to the rest of the world to­ward the end of the 19th and the be­gin­ning of the 20th cen­tury.

MY THOUGHTS ON

BREEDING JAPANESE

BANTAMS

 

I have been breeding fowls and ban­tams for some 40 years, and have kept ma­ny breeds over that time. If some­body had told me back then that the breed I would fall most in love with would be Japa­nese Ban­tams, I would have said they were crazy.

BREEDING TOUCANS

 

Toucans are colourful birds from South Ame­rica. They have a re­mar­kable large bill com­pa­red to their body size. In total, there are 34 known species which show the high­est di­ver­sity at the Ama­zon Basin. Bree­ding tou­cans in cap­ti­vity is still rare. Welt­vogel­park Wals­rode in Ger­many was the first in­sti­tu­tion world­wide to breed tou­cans.

CONCERNING POULTRY

~ Rearing the chicks ~

 

Most serious breeders of show fowls use in­cu­ba­tors to hatch their chicks. This is be­cause broo­dy hens are often un­avai­lable when the sup­ply of hat­ching eggs is grea­test. Arti­ficial in­cu­ba­tion of chic­ken eggs is rela­tively easy. They are gene­rally har­dy crea­tures but they do need cer­tain re­qui­sites in order to thrive. So what is re­qui­red?

OUR TRIP TO Straubing

 

In December 2011, I already started to get ex­ci­ted about the up­co­ming pigeon mar­ket in Strau­bing, Ger­ma­ny. It is one of the lar­gest pigeon mar­kets in Eu­rope.  It has been held every year on Ja­nua­ry 6. This Pi­geon Mar­ket is very po­pu­lar, at day­break there was al­rea­dy an over­whel­ming num­ber of people wai­ting to get in­side the halls.

RUMPLESS:

BREED CHARCTERISTIC

OR ANOMALY?

 

Many breeds have a tail-less or rump­less va­rie­ty, mean­ing, they do not have any rem­nant of a tail, or more spe­ci­fic: no par­sons nose. This trait is cau­sed by an auto­somal do­mi­nant, non-lethal gene. For some it is breed spe­cific. For me it is mostly a curio­sity.
