OLD DUTCH TUMBLER

 

In Amsterdam, a hundred years ago, on December 12th of the year 1912, a small group of fan­ciers star­ted the Old Dutch Tum­bler Club. A spe­cial club for an an­cient breed, at that time, known for its friend­ly nature and good flying cha­rac­teris­tics. Due to the foun­ding in 1912 of the Old Dutch Tumbler club there was more unity amongst the bree­ders and the breed again flou­rished.

THE ORLOFF

 

An old Russian breed of Orloff chic­kens is widely known not only in Russia but also in other coun­tries. It has been inclu­ded in the poul­try cata­logues of chic­ken breeds in many coun­tries. Many papers have been pu­blished about this breed and series of stu­dies have been con­duc­ted to clarify its ge­ne­tic cha­rac­te­ris­tics.

THREE BRANCHES

OF THE SAME TREE

 

Though we cannot really speak of “ende­mic spe­cies” in the pigeon fancy, we can trans­fer its prin­ci­ples: if groups of bree­ders lose con­tact with each other, the breed which once was the same ulti­ma­tely breaks up into several breeds.

PEAFOWL SPECIES

AND THEIR MUTATIONS

 

The peacock is rightly called the “king of birds”, its looks ranks it among one of the most beau­tiful ani­mals in the world. Hardly anyone could better des­cribe а pea­cock, than an­cient Hindus: “A pea­cock has the fea­thers of an an­gel, the voice of the de­vil and the walk of a thief”.

ON BOARD

 

An amazing amount of livestock was trans­por­ted by Sail Ships in the old days, even on War Ships. To this we owe many of the esta­bli­shed chic­ken and pigeon breeds we have to­day, so we have a lot to be thank­ful for with these early Vo­ya­gers.

THe Nas de Xot (PIGEON)

 

A number of enthusiastic Catalan bree­ders main­tain a spe­cial, ori­gi­nal and very char­ming pigeon breed. When­ever I am in Spain to judge at a Show, I look for those few cages in which these birds are and I am never dis­appoin­ted and even excited since I finally was able to pur­chase a couple last year.

thE OHIKI

 

When digging into the history of Chabo I found a Japanese source explaining they im­por­ted a Chinese ban­tam from the Ne­ther­lands around 1800’s. The Dutch im­por­ted these ban­tam birds from China with V.O.C. ships (Dutch East India Company, 1602-1799).

BLACK SWANS

 

For a few years now, we have had two Black Swans in the joint pond of our chil­dren’s farm. How­ever, two ani­mals of the same breed are not al­ways a true pair, i.e. a male and a fe­male, as we found out! This mis­take can nor­mal­ly be sol­ved quick­ly, but not if it con­cerns swans. Black Swans are even more com­pli­ca­ted birds than other water­fowl.

WEIGHT AND SIZE

OF WYANDOTTE BANTAMS
