ICE PIGEONS

at Bernd and Jens Herbert

in Germany

His son Jens spe­cia­lises in the White Che­quer but has also all the other co­lour va­rie­ties of this very po­pu­lar Ger­man Colour Pigeon, all in Clean Leg.

Did you know the large Garvo trans­por­ters in Hol­land are de­co­ra­ted with beau­ti­ful Dutch Boo­ted Ban­tams?

TWO NEW EGG JUDGES

IN BELGIUM

 

Patience is a virtue I learned from my fa­ther. Es­pe­cial­ly when we were fi­shing to­ge­ther. Why do I use the­se words as an intro­duc­tion? Four years ago I wrote a ma­nual for peo­ple who want to learn to jud­ge eggs. The re­quest was from an en­thu­sias­tic group of Ju­niors from the Small Ani­mals Asso­cia­tion An­go­ra Club in Bru­ges who wan­ted to learn.

THE NORFOLK GREY

 

The Norfolk Grey seems to be a bird that doesn’t know when to die out.  Given the num­ber of ti­mes it has sur­vi­ved pro­blems, may­be it should be cal­led the ‘Phoe­nix Grey’. For rea­sons that should be­come clea­rer by the end of this sto­ry, a sui­table sub­title, with apo­lo­gies to Tol­kien’s Hob­bit, would be ‘The­re and Back again’.

THE MODENA IN

NEW ZEALAND

 

New Zealand has a population of just 4.4 mil­lion peo­ple and cor­res­pon­ding­ly, the num­ber of fan­cy pi­geon bree­ders we have is also very low and in­deed the num­ber of fan­cy pi­geon breeds kept is al­so limi­ted. The English Mo­de­na has been the most po­pu­lar breed of fan­cy pi­geon here.

THE LITTLE WHITES?

Bantam Wyandottes Today and Tomorrow

 

Are “top-birds” with weights of 1600 g in hens and 1900 g in cocks what we real­ly want? Could the stan­dard weight of 1100 g to 1300 g be that ea­sily ig­no­red? Yes, it could. We saw that again last year, at the Ger­man Poul­try Show for Ban­tam Breeds in Ulm, and at the Eu­ro­pa-Show in Leip­zig!

CONCERNING POULTRY

~ Breeding Galliformes ~

Part 2

 

Many diseases and problems in cap­ti­ve Gal­li­for­mes are di­rect­ly or in­di­rect­ly re­la­ted to mal­nu­tri­tion. Bree­ders of gal­li­na­ceous birds should en­sure that the na­tu­ral ha­bi­tat of the birds is ade­qua­te­ly imi­ta­ted and be a­ware of the na­tu­ral foods con­su­med by any spe­cies main­tained in cap­tivi­ty.
