ROEL BIJKERK

interview

 

Since I was 13 years old I have had pi­geons. First, for a short period Dutch High Fly­ers, Owls and such, and even a ra­cing pi­geon that wan­de­red in. Through my spe­cial­ty club (Bree­der Asso­cia­tion of Dutch Tum­blers) I came in con­tact with the Am­ster­dam (beard) Tum­bler. I was attrac­ted im­me­diately to this breed and I started to breed this pi­geon.

THE HERVE FOWL

 

Being a breeder of some Belgian breeds, I also follow with inte­rest the sto­ry of the de­velop­ment of the Herve Fowl, be­cau­se of the strong inte­rest for this breed in the me­dia as well. Offi­cial­ly, this breed is cal­led Herve Fowl (in Bel­gium), but in the South of the Ne­ther­lands it is known as Mer­gel­land Hoen.

ORIGIN OF

SUMATRA GAME FOWL

 

The origin of this breed is a bit of a mys­tery. It was im­por­ted into the USA in the late 1840’s and its ear­ly his­to­ry was re­cor­ded by T.B. Miner in his Do­mes­tic Poul­try Book, 1853.

THE SPEELDERKEN

and the

BELGIAN RINGBEATER

 

The breed had already been described in the 17th century by David Te­niers un­der the lo­cal (Genth) na­me ‘Speel­klak­ker’. In later works, also the na­me ‘Draai­er’ (Tur­ner) is used. How­ever, that was most like­ly the Bel­gian Ring­bea­ter. Pre­su­ma­bly the two breed are clo­se­ly re­la­ted.

FRENCH BLACK TURKEYS

~ in particular the Gers turkey ~

 

Black turkeys are quite rare - although ac­cor­ding to the gour­mets the blacks are just the fi­nest. En­gland has the black Nor­folk and also the Spa­nish Black tur­key is known. A large coun­try like Fran­ce with its ma­ny gour­mets, has even more; all of them are dis­cus­sed here.

KEEPING CHICKENS

AS A HOBBY

 

Keeping pets is popular and might even have a thera­peutic ef­fect on our psy­che. But this also has an eco­no­mic inte­rest; just look at the shel­ves of su-per­mar­kets and the ran­ge of feeds from spe­cialized agri­cul­tu­ral sup­pliers.

PEACOCK-PHEASANTS AND

ASIATIC SPURFOWL

PART 3

 

In this installation we touch on the evo­lu­tio­nary his­to­ries of the toothed quail and Asia­tic wood-par­trid­ges, which to­ge­ther with the gui­nea­fowl form a set of slight­ly youn­ger bran­ches in the phy­lo­ge­ne­tic tree, still ma­ny mil­lions of years ol­der than the ear­liest grouse or ty­pi­cal phea­sant.

PIGEONS IN BRAS

 

What does a brassiere company have in com­mon with World War II? Why, the pi­geon vest of course. The pi­geon vest was a vest that was crea­ted to pro­tect car­rier pi­geons as they para­chuted through the air strap­ped to the chest of para­troopers.

MEAL WORMS –

perfect but forbidden feed

 

Chickens are omnivores, and although we may gene­rally asso­ciate them with grain, no beetle, worm or snail is safe in the chic­ken run. Chic­kens are fond of in­sects and it is not sim­ply as a deli­cacy, but also of­fers them an im­por­tant and easily ab­sor­bable nu­trient.

INHERITANCE OF EGG COLOUR IN MARANS

 

The question of how the beautiful red­dish­brown egg colour of the Marans is in­he­rited keeps many peo­ple busy. There is one thing for cer­tain: no one real­ly knows how it works. It is there­fore use­ful to put all the in­for­ma­t­ion I have col­lec­ted over the years about the egg co-lour in­he­ri­tance, on paper.

CLAY PIPES

 

From the 1st quarter of the 17th century clay pipes were manu­fac­tured in Nor­thern Ne­ther­lands. The clay pipes were used to smoke to­bac­co. Some­times spe­cial events were de­pic­ted on the pipes. Quite a few pipes have been manu­fac­tured with the image of chic­kens and pigeons.
