These two varieties are both catered for by one spe­cialty club in Ger­ma­ny. This is prac­tical as the coun­try of ori­gin of the­se breeds is the for­mer Cze­cho­slo­va­kia and the colour and mar­king have very much in com­mon, also they are both classi­fied in the form / utility pigeon Group.

THEORY AND PRACTICE

in the creation of the blue

salmon colour in Wyandotte

bantams

 

Blue is one of the most difficult colours for bree­ding and anyone who has been enga­ged in ex­hi­bi­tion poul­try knows what a chal­lenge it is. On the other hand the com­bi­nation of sal­mon colour with di­lu­tion Bl gene gives us a very beau­tiful com­bi­nation ... a real feast for the eyes.

THE GELDERSE SLENKE

Elucidation on the Standard

(part I)

 

Although the Gelderse Slenke already in 1899 was shown – together with the Gro­nin­gen Slen­ke - at an ex­hi­bi­tion in Nij­me­gen and in the twen­ties at the Natio­nal Avi­cul­tura Show, there has ne­ver been a writ­ten Gel­der­se Slen­ke stan­dard, as far as we know.  2010 was a his­to­ric year with the re­cog­nition of the Gel­der­se Slen­ke.

The breed originates from Italy, but its va­rious forms were de­ve­loped in Ame­rica, En­gland, Ger­many, Ne­ther­lands and Ita­ly (the En­glish word “Leg­horn” refers to the Ita­lian city Li­vor­no). The strains across the world are ge­ne­rally all har­dy and pro­lific egg-layers.

VISITING

RICHARD VAN DER WESTEN

IN MADE (NL)

 

At the Champion Show, in January 2014, I met with Richard van der Wes­ten. This young man of 21 years is from the vil­lage of Made (NL). He stood by his own large infor­ma­tion desk with trans­port con­tai­ners. Beauti­ful woo­den boxes in all sizes and types. You could in­stant­ly see that this con­cept of trans­port con­tai­ners was care­fully de­signed.
