PETER VAN DER SPEK

about his fancy pigeons

 

My interest in animals, but especially pi­geons, was lear­ned at home. I was born in Loos­dui­nen (near The Hague NL), and in those days there were many fly­ing bo­xes on the roofs in this area. There is a photo in exis­tence with me stan­ding in the run pul­ling a cock out of the box by its tail.

THE OLD DUTCH TURBIT

attracting more interest

 

The Old Dutch Turbit is a very ancient breed, not­with­stan­ding the fact that it was only offi­cial­ly recog­nised by the Dutch Stan­dard Com­mit­tee in 1938, ha­ving been ne­glec­ted and for­got­ten by the fan­ciers in ear­lier years.   For­tu­na­te­ly, the inte­rest in this beau­tiful Dutch breed has again in­crea­sed, due to the chan­ges made to the breed in bygone years.

A VERY INTERESTING VISIT

 

On Sunday the 19th of July 2015 we had the op­por­tu­nity to visit the Open Day of the the Bruno-Dürigen Insti­tute (Scien­ti­fic Poul­try Yard of the BDRG, the Poul­try Fe­de­ra­tion of Ger­ma­ny). This Scien­ti­fic Poul­try Yard was offi­cially esta­bli­shed in 2004. The main goal of the in­sti­tute is the achieve­ment of know­ledge about the bio­logy of tra­di­tio­nal and fan­cy poul­try breeds, through fun­da­men­tal re­search as well as science-based ani­mal wel­fare.

INBREEDING or not?

 

Inbreeding is breeding with individuals of the same family or tribe. In other words, bree­ding from rela­ted ani­mals. Some bree­ders turn down in­bree­ding in all forms, others use it re­gu­larly.

The beautiful

mystery of hatching

 

The hatching process is a beautiful pro­cess. In just three weeks, an egg trans­forms from what is essen­tially simi­lar to a fer­ti­lised table egg into a live, com­plete chick.
