Showpoultry

[Piepstokloper]

My wife and I did have a rather unusual hobby, namely breeding Cochin Poultry as shown in attachment.
We kept quit a view in those days, somethimes over 300 fowls in various collourpatterns.
We did breed the big ones aswell as the bantams.

I don't know much about show poultry, but I do like eating them That is one heck of a different hobby. May I ask, the ones that aren't cut out for show, are they are the next days menu?
You also have to have the patience of a saint, it must take years to breed a winner.

Mostly when the chicks are hatched I can alredy disidet who,s fitt for show later on, the rest will be food for our German Shepperd.
When some adult fowls have not make it to a winner, they will be sold.
Now and then some of that fowls will be eaten by us.
Thanks for your replie.

Is there any money in this, or just for pride? I would guess that you have to have a keen eye to spot any imperfections in a baby chick. Well, if nothing else your eggs and dinners are a stone throw away.

You may want to start looking into show cattle, I would love to have some fresh fillet Mignon.
