A visit at Jos van Dorp

in De Lier (NL)

 

His first pigeon literally dropped in; it was a thief pou­ter that was slam­med against the front win­dow of their house du­ring a gust of wind. Jos and Riet took care of the pigeon, and na­med it "The Wan­derer". Some­time later his father sup­plied the lone­some bird with a few Fan­tails and so it all began.

BELGIAN GAME :

ORIGIN &

CHARACTERISTICS

 

‘The Belgian game is the largest and most power­ful chic­ken breed in Europe and is noticed as one of the best Game Fowl’, so begins Jacque (1858) his mono­graph of the des­crip­tion of the va­rie­ty. The ap­pea­rance of the breed, how­ever, chan­ged fre­quent­ly over time with the result that un­cer­tain­ties arose about the ori­ginal breed cha­rac­te­ris­tics.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED

WITH THE DUTCH

FRILLBACK CROPPER ?

 

1997, the Dutch Frillback Cropper was recog­nized as a new breed in its coun­try of origin. Other coun­tries fol­lowed, in­clu­ding the UK and this pigeon enjo­yed a short-lived po­pu­la­rity. Now, 15 years later, only a hand­ful of bree­ders are left in The Ne­ther­lands, while in other coun­tries this Crop­per is no lon­ger seen at shows.

CHICKEN RUN - visiting

Marius Gahrmann (NL)

 

What can be better than listening to an en­thu­sias­tic bree­der talk about his hob­by, and most of, about all ‘his breed’? This time we intro­duce to you Marius Gahr­mann from Bos­koop, the Ne­ther­lands, who breeds a ty­pical Dutch chic-ken, the Gro­nin­ger Meeuw - ban­tam va­rie­ty.

CONCERNING POULTRY

~ stress ~

 

They don't call them 'chicken' for no­thing. By na­ture, most chic­ken are cow­ards. They are afraid of their own sha-dow. Poul­try are prey and their ge­ne­tic code pre­dis­po­ses them to the flight in­stinct, even when they're hand-rea­red and tame. Fear crea­tes stress and there's a sound me­di­cal rea­son why stress allows disease to take hold in an other­wise heal­thy bird.

RAISING JAPANESE QUAIL

 

Japanese quail (Coturnix) are more docile than other quail species since they have been so do­mes­ti­ca­ted over­time. They do make great pets and many peo­ple who can­not have chic­ken due to their lo­ca­tion have quails as their laying sour­ce or com­pa­nion. Coturnix can be hou­sed in smal­ler con­fine­ments than poul­try. They re­quire little spa­ce to pro­create.

Damascene club

in the Netherlands

 

On their annual club meeting the Da­mascene Club dis­cus­sed the forth­co­ming Euro­pean Da­mascene show in 2013 in Fran­kenau, Ger­many. Another topic was the rene­wed Stan­dard. The ruby eye was again men­tioned in the stan­dard; this breed ty­pical cha­rac­te­ris­tic was sore­ly mis­sed by the bree­ders during the last years. Also the Chequer Pattern was ex­plai­ned.

WELSUMMERS

AND THEIR EGGS:

A UNIQUE COMBINATION

 

In the Netherlands, a great number of Wel­sum­mer eggs no longer are what they used to be; they are too small and too light in colour. The reason is that Dutch bree­ders are se­lec­ting pre­do­mi­nant­ly for the birds’ exterior, they be­lieve the Wel­sum­mer needs to con­form to the breed’s stan­dard and win prizes at poul­try shows.

MODENA CLUB DAY (NL)

 

The Modena is a decorative pigeon, which has many demands to be a show win­ner, but in your loft it is a calm and attrac­tive pigeon, which will cer­tain­ly not be bul­lied. The breed comes in beau­tiful co­lours and mar- kings. Often each nest of young is a sur­prise, be colour. The Modena is a jewel in your aviary and its fanciers will bring you a friend­ship from all over the world. That is why they are so popular.

SILKIE DAY

 

A few years ago the Dutch Silkie Club chan­ged the name of its ‘Young Ani­mals Day’ to ‘Silkie Day’.  Each year in Sep­tem­ber Club mem­bers come to Barne­veld and show their Silkies; both young and older birds. Now they have inclu­ded a new class for Not-Stan­dar­dized Colours; newly created colour va­rie­ties - some of which will begin the pro­ce­dure of get­ting the colour re­cog­nized.
