CHICKEN RUN
Breda Fowl
at Rolf de Ruiter’s
If you know Rolf, you know that the
Breda Fowl was love at first sight. However, this was not the chicken breed
that he started with. In 1976, when he started keeping chickens, he did
not even know Breda Fowl existed! So his first birds were Dutch Bantams. A
few years later, when he looked for other chickens, he saw the Breda Fowl
for the first time.

THE BREDA FOWL
and BREDA BANTAM
Part 2 of the triptych on the BKU breeds. The Breda Fowl is one of the oldest
Dutch breeds. As far is the type is concerned, it is a very striking bird.
This is caused by the leg- and foot feathering, but above all by the absence
of a comb and other head ornaments.

CONCERNING POULTRY
~ Curled Toes ~
It’s always a disappointment when chicks hatch in
the incubator and some appear with curled toes. If you are experiencing
this for the first time you will wonder why this happened. If the eggs
came from another breeder, he will quickly get the blame, while he in his
turn will say that it must have been the incubator.…

THE PIGEON MAIL,
1000 YEARS AGO
A few years ago, travelling through the Middle East
and Egypt, I was very interested in pigeon breeding of that region. Among
other things, I was listening to interesting stories and legends about
pigeon breeding from past times.

BASSETTES
~ COLOUR BREEDING ~
In our former issue (February) we explained that
when breeding the Bassettes, you have a choice
of a great number of colour varieties.
We divided the colours in 4 groups + the Whites. Let’s suppose
you will opt for Group 1, the Gold varieties. What should your Bassettes look like and what colour combinations are
possible?
