OLD DUTCH CRESTED

MINIATURE DUCKS

 

I had been thinking about adding some ducks to our mena­gerie for some time; and in 2012 my wife and I de­ci­ded the time was right.  Be­cau­se I ha­ve so­me Dutch Bear­ded Po­land Ban­tams, as well as Glos­ter ca­na­ries (also with a "crest"), I very much wan­ted to ha­ve some cres­ted ducks; but my wife thought them too lar­ge, and that’s how we ca­me to the Cres­ted Minia­ture Ducks.

OPENING

5th CHAMPION SHOW

 

The opening ceremony began at 18:30 and en­ded at 20:24 pm, almost two hours, which is quite long even for a Grand Na­tio­nal Show. But there were ma­ny spea­kers and many awards to pre­sent to the win­ners. High­light was the pre­sen­ting of the beau­tiful de­co­ra­ted Co­ro­na­tion Pla­tes, a spe­cial award with the date of in­augu­ra­tion of our new King, Wil­lem Alexander.

Pavlovskaya

part 1

 

The Pavlovskaya is an old Russian chicken breed which got its name after the place where it was bred, the village Pavlovo in Nizhny Novgorod province, now  known as Pavlovo-na-Oka. These chickens have been bred since the times of Catherine II, Empress of Russia. There is a legend that the ancestors of this breed were hens in Catherine II’s poultry yard.

PEACOCK-PHEASANTS AND

ASIATIC SPURFOWL

Part 1

 

In this article, we examine in detail se­ve­ral tro­pi­cal Asian galli­forms fre­quent­ly ment­ioned in tech­ni­cal orni­tho­lo­gi­cal litera­ture but ra­rely dis­cus­sed at length: the pea­cock-phea­sants. A theo­ry that’s be­co­me a mat­ter of tra­di­tion pla­ces the pea­cock-phea­sant as a phy­lo­ge­ne­tic link be­tween ac­tual phea­sants and the pea­fowl.

CONCERNING POULTRY

~ The positive traits of naked neck chickens~

 

Naked neck chickens have the “Na”-gene. There is much at­ten­tion paid to this gene and main­ly for the pur­pose of uses in hot cli­mates. How­ever, ex­pe­ri­ments have shown more po­si­tive traits.

FRENCH EXHIBITIONS

Part 3

 

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.
