GELDERLAND SLENKE

 . . . or not?

 

It all started at the young animal day of the Rare Cropper Breeds Club in 2009.  Dick Hamer had brought some young Gel­der­land Slenke and to my sur­prise there was a blue one be­tween them. Dick told me that he often had blue co­lou­red birds in both bar­red and che­quer.

THE BARNEVELDER

 

Barnevelders the most famous of all Dutch chic­ken breeds was crea­ted in and around Barne­veld at the turn of the last cen­tu­ry and achie­ved world­wide fame. The breed arose when local farmy­ard fowl were mated to the Asia­tic fowl that ar­ri­ved in Eu­rope from the 1850s on­wards. Apart from an in­crease in size the ad­ded be­ne­fit was their brown eggs and most im­por­tant­ly they laid these du­ring win­ter when egg pri­ces were at their peak.

CONCERNING POULTRY

- mating strategies -

 

Breeding your own chickens ... this is where kee­ping chic­kens gets really in­te­res­ting. It's one thing to just KEEP chic­kens, but another thing enti­rely, to create your own strain of your cho­sen breed. It is by careful selec­tion and bree­ding of their birds, that the fa­mous chic­ken bree­ders around the world have made their mark and now it's your turn to take the first step.

THE MOOKEE

- What you should pay

attention to -

 

The Mookee is a pigeon for both be­gin­ners and bree­ders with ex­pe­rience. It is not very diffi­cult to breed, they are ex­cel­lent pa­rents and 3 or 4 nests are not a pro­blem, so an ideal bird for be­gin­ners. For ex­pe­rien­ced bree­ders, the com­bi­na­tion of the cor-rect type, good co­lour, well de­fined head mar­king and a full ‘mane’ with peak crest, give enough diffi­culties and chal­len­ges for anyone..

THE BUCKEYE

 

My attention was caught when I read some­thing bizarre on the web­site of the ALBC, the Ame­rican Live­stock Breeds Con­ser­vancy. Although the ALBC is a reliable and highly va­lued or­ga­ni­za­tion, I thought it wise to check that re­mark with the people who should know best: the bree­ders of this old and rare Ameri­can chicken breed.

PIGEONS IN INDIA

Part 2

 

This article on Indian pigeon breeds is a fol­low-up of the article pu­bli­shed in our 2011 Au­gust issue. Some of the In­dian breeds are lo­ved for the special sound that they make. One of those pi­geons is the Yahoo – a breed ful­ly un­known in Eu­rope. The Yahoo and the Gul Mehendi have been descri­bed in the for­mer ar­ticle, but we had no pho­tos avai­lable at that time.
