AMERICAN SHOW RACERS

OF FRIEDEL BOSSMEYER

 

In today's breeders interview Volker Lortz visited the well known Ame­rican Show Ra­cer bree­der Friedel Boss­meyer from Fran­kish-Crum­bach, Ger­ma­ny. Most would agree that the suc­cess of this pigeon breed in Eu­rope over the last 20 years would not have been so emi­nent­ly pos­sible without Frie­del Boss­meyer.

ORIGIN OF THE EUROPEAN

AND AMERICAN COCHIN

BANTAM (PEKIN)

 

Do the Pekin all originate from a small group of buff co­lou­red ban­tams im­por­ted in 1860 in En­gland, after the Old Sum­mer Pa­lace of the Chi­nese em­pe­rors was des­tro­yed. And is the Pekin a true ban­tam and not the dwarf form of the Co­chins?

THE DUTCH COLOUR

HOMER TO HAVE A

STANDARD

 

Several friends from the racing sport have stop­ped fly­ing with their birds, but they still have pi­geons in fan­tas­tic co­lours. In or­der to be able to con­ti­nue doing some­thing with these birds, the idea is to start bree­ding ra­cing ho­mers for their co­lour and ex­hi­bit them same as we do our fancy pigeons.

THE HISTORY OF

COCK-FIGHTING

 

The history of cockfighting goes back to Clas­sical Era. Most ex­perts agree that it ori­gi­na­ted in South­east Asia. How­ever, before it even be­came a sport, the bird was re­gar­ded as an ad­mi­ra­ble ani­mal, dra­wing res­pect from men.

A MINI PEN PICTURE

OF THE SHOW SCENE

IN THE UK

 

The hobby of breeding show pigeons, by com­pa­rison with the other Eu­ro­pean coun­tries, is on a very small scale. In the whole of the Uni­ted King­dom there are less than seven hun­dred re­gis­te­red fan­ciers. Of this small number only around fifty per­cent ac­tually ex­hi­bit their birds in major com­pe­titive shows.

CONSERVATION OF THE

ST CRUZ JUNGLE FOWL

IN THE SOLOMON ISLANDS

 

The small pockets of jungle fowl still li­ving in the wild are al­most li­ving di­no­saurs and as such are of great in­te­rest and va­lue to the world. These fowl which roam free on is­lands such as Santa Cruz in the Solo­mon Islands are of im­mense va­lue to both the world food sour­ces, eco­no­mics and poul­try ge­ne­tics.

CONCERNING POULTRY

Vital chicks from properly stored eggs

 

At the time a fertile egg is laid, there is al­rea­dy a small em­bryo floa­ting on the yolk. The vi­ta­lity of this em­bryo must be pre­ser­ved du­ring sto­rage until the point in time when the in­cu­ba­tion pro­cess starts. To achieve this, the eggs are han­dled care­fully and tem­pe­ra­ture fluc­tua­tions avoi­ded as much as pos­si­ble un­der prac­tical con­di­tions.

Sale of my Hobby books

 

One day you decide to make some room in your li­bra­ry. All the shel­ves are full, clo­sets are over­flo­wing and even the floor is al­rea­dy slow­ly piling up with stacks of club news files and ex­hi­bi­tion ca­ta­lo­gues. It is real­ly get­ting out of con­trol.

FRENCH EXHIBITIONS

Part 2

 

In France, it is quite normal on a Sun­day af­ter­noon to go and visit a fel­low bree­der who lives 200 miles away. This gives a very spe­cial at­mos­phere in the sport ex­pe­rience, es­pecial­ly at a show where par­tici­pants often stay for a week (with their fa­mi­ly) at a lo­cal ho­tel, to ex­pe­rience the total event.
