RAFAEL BUCH BRAGE the unsurpassed master of the Iberian pigeon breeds Buch Brage is a man who is
respected at home and abroad for his unprecedented knowledge. His great
knowledge does not originate exclusively from the practice of the actual
breeding of pigeons, but also results from the fact that he has written a
great deal about pigeons as a major expert. By :

40 YEARS IN THE FANCY Co Tersteeg
and Dirk de Jong 40 years in the Fancy? I can hear
you think… "This will probably be an annoying story about two easy-going,
know-all old men." Well, do read on. Easy-going? Both men are still
full of the joys of life. Old? Age is only a number. And know-alls? Yes, I
dare say; as it concerns our hobby, these two are truly all-knowing ~ in a
good way! By : Elly Vogelaar (NL) 11 pages - 1,4 MB

SUPERNUMERARIES Speaking about supernumeraries we often get from
breeders the opinion that racing homer pigeons with 11 primaries or
more have advantages in the competition against those with 10 primaries
(wild-type) only. About the genetics of the phenolmenon
there was long speculation only. By : Koen Joris (BE) and Axel Sell

However, numerous factors may adversely affect egg production in
chicken flocks. By : Jacquie Jacob and Tony Pescatore (USA) 7 pages - 765 kB |

OPENING CHAMPION SHOW 2017 For a long time it seemed the ban would be lifted
in time and we could also welcome chickens and waterfowl at this show.
We kept our hopes high till the very last moment, but unfortunately, it
was not allowed. What a pity that the poultry could not be here! How we
have missed the crowing and clucking of the chickens on so many shows! By : Thom
