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.

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!

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.

CONCERNING POULTRY

~ Why have my hens stopped laying? ~

 

Hens will lay fewer eggs each year. So one of the first fac­tors to con­si­der when your hens stop la­ying is the age of the flock. How­ever, nu­me­rous fac­tors may ad­ver­se­ly af­fect egg pro­duc­tion in chic­ken flocks.

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!

THE BELGIAN

BANTAM FESTIVAL

 

You read it well, a festival, not just a show, but a real par­ty! A par­ty for the par­ti­ci­pants, the bree­ders, the jud­ges, the chic­ken lo­vers and the vi­si­tors. For any­one in­te­res­ted in chic­kens and most spe­ci­fi­cal­ly in ban­tams, with or with­out beards and foot fea­thers, will en­joy a lot of beau­ty at “The Bel­gian Ban­tam Fes­tival”.

Who does not know the small, shim­me­ring hum­ming­birds which flap their wings fas­ter than the hu­man eye can see? The more than 320 spe­cies of hum­ming­birds ex­clu­si­vely in­ha­bit the New World. They oc­cu­py fo­rests, de­serts, moun­tain re­gions and open land­sca­pes from sou­thern North to South A­me­rica.

CROPPERS AT THE

4th AL NAWADER GOLD SHOW

IN OMAN

 

Once again I was invited to judge the Re­verse­wing Crop­pers and Po­me­ra­nian Pou­ters at the Gold Show in O­man. We were met at the air­port by Jabr Alra­wahi, who was the chee­riest per­son we've met for ages! He kept us laugh­ing all the way to the Gulf Col­lege.
