THE CATALONIAN

TUMBLER

 

Talking about the Catalonian Tumbler (ba­si­cally the name “Cata­lonian Flying Pi­geon” would be more appro­priate) means tal­king about a breed of Orien­tal origin that was intro­du­ced to the Ibe­rian Penin­sula via the Me­di­terra­nean in the 14th century.

PROMOTION SHOW

FOR JAPANESE BREEDS

 

At the recently held Noordshow there was a pro­mo­tio­nal ex­hi­bition of Japa­ne­se chic­ken breeds, and it pro­ved a huge suc­cess. In the mid­dle of the hall we had a sepa­rate area en­tire­ly in orien­tal style. These works of art among chic­kens de­serve to stand in the spot­light.

CHICKENS IN ARUBA including an interview with some fighting cock breeders

 

This article is based on interviews with Roly Sint Jago and Maritza and Roque Tromp. These people from Aruba are no chic­ken fan­ciers at all, but they have done their ut­most to describe the poul­try si­tua­tion to us in Aruba. The in­ter­vie­wed mem­bers of the Quandt family are real chic­ken bree­ders.

THE ANNABERGER

CRESTED FRIZZLE BANTAM

 

As a breeder of Appenzeller Fowls I have al­ways had an inte­rest in the An­na­ber­ger Frizzled Fowl, lo­cally (in Ger­ma­ny) known as Anna­ber­ger Hau­ben strup­huhn. A few times I saw them at Euro­pean Shows. In my view, this breed looks like an Ap­pen­zeller with frizzled feathers.

THE FLEMISH CUCKOO

Part 1

 

A report on my long search for the ori­gins of the Cuc­koo chic­kens and in par­ti­cular the Fle­mish Cuc­koo.  Is the old type of the Ma­lines cuc­koo (thus the Fle­mish cuc­koo) the same as the Scotch Grey, as is writ­ten in an­cient ma­ga­zines from 1887 and 1889 ?
