Jan Janssen, talking about

his breed: The Lille Pouter

 

In 1990, I switched to a breed that was hard­ly kept by any­one at that time, the Lille Pou­ter and I still keep these. It is a breed which is very good to keep; the pigeons are quiet and can be kept in an aviary. It is also a breed that is very well suited for free flying.

The Lille Pouter,

by the French Boulant Lillois Club

 

To me, the slow decline of  par­ti­ci­pa­tion of the Lille Pouter in the shows, is very dis­ap­poin­ting. How­ever, the same hap­pens with other clubs. The fan­ciers are aging, me too, thereby we ascer­tain a decline in new mem­bers. That is the trend of the moment. I hope this call will change that.

CHICKEN RUN

Rosecomb Bantams at

Adri Hermsen’s

 

When Adri Hermsen went to the Euro­pean Show 2012 in Leipzig, Ger­many, she pro­mised to take some photos for us. Among the photos we saw one of their own Rose­comb ban­tams which was awar­ded 97 points there. At the Noord Show, another one of their ban­tams was awar­ded 97 points. All the more reason to ask Adri for some of her ‘bree­ding secrets’.

75 Year’s Jubilee of

the German Specialty club

for Starling Pigeons

 

During the 27th European show the Star­ling Pigeon Club cele­bra­ted its 75th anni­ver­sary. The po­liti­cal se­pa­rat­ion time between East and West had no im­pact on the Star­ling bree­ding. But after the unifi­cation many new friend­ships were crea­ted, which can only benefit the breed. Of the 54 re­cog­nized colours, about 30 colours were present at this show.

NORTH HOLLAND BLUE

 

Although the official name of this breed is ‘North Hol­land Fowl’, most bree­ders - and even the Spe­cia­lity Club - stick to the ori­ginal name North Hol­land Blue. It is the only meat type breed of Dutch origin, created at the be­gin­ning of the 20th cen­tury by far­mers and work­men in the Zaan district and Water­land re-gion.

CONCERNING POULTRY

~ Breeding Galliformes ~

 

Some gallinaceous birds, such as tur­keys, quail, grouse, pea­fowl, phea­sant and jungle fowl,  breed readily in cap­ti-vity while others rarely repro­duce. Bree­ding failures are an indi­cation that the birds are not happy or healthy, and that the natural con­di­tions of the bird are not being suf­ficiently simu­lated.
