MAKERS OF BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
GERMAN LANGSHAN HEN
Classified as a large fowl, soft-feather breed, the German Langshan is an elegant bird, with a round body and attractive plumage. Owing to its unusual height and upright posture, this fowl’s shape resembles a wine glass when viewed in profile. From Beautiful Chickens Postcard Book, published by Ivy Press Š 2011 Owner: Dilwyn Green
NANKIN COCK
Today classified as a rare breed, the Nankin was once one of Britain’s most popular bantams, hence its other name: Common Yellow bantam. One of the most ancient of breeds, the Nankin has oscillated between popularity and near extinction over the centuries. From Beautiful Chickens Postcard Book, published by Ivy Press Š 2011 Owner: Miss P.M. Fieldhouse
ARAUCANA HEN
Its placid, easy-going nature and colourful eggs has made the Araucana popular amongst enthusiasts. Breeding the Araucana has proven difficult, because the genes that produce the unusual ear tufts also boosts mortality in young chicks. From Beautiful Chickens Postcard Book, published by Ivy Press Š 2011 Owner: Mrs J.A. Lawrence
OLD ENGLISH GAME BANTAM COCK
A confident, active breed, Old English Game Bantams have a reputation for feistiness, and are often noisy. Yet generations of breeding for ornamental traits have reduced the breed’s aggressiveness; birds may become fairly tame when handled with patience. From Beautiful Chickens Postcard Book, published by Ivy Press Š 2011 Owner: Mr S. Owen
JAPANESE BANTAM COCK
The Japanese Bantam is a popular, showy bird with the shortest legs of any variety. What the legs lack, the tail makes up for with its extreme length. Despite their unusual shape, Japanese Bantams make good fliers and enjoy foraging. From Beautiful Chickens Postcard Book, published by Ivy Press Š 2011 Owner: Mrs A. Elvey
