Hello from Germany!

Following you find some pictures of call ducks at the Junggeflügelschau Hannover 2010 - Germany.

The pied calls are mine, some of them live now in Wales

Hi Germancalls,

Nice to see you on the forum ;-)

I couldn't go to Junggeflügelschau Hannover 2010 but I really missed going - it is a fantastic show.

I have moved your post into Showing Waterfowl as I think this is a better place for it - also, I have reduced the image sizes a little to make it easier to see them. I hope you don't mind.

I might be able to guess where your calls have gone in Wales ;-)

Your Pied Calls look great, I hope they did well at the show.

Thank you for the nice welcome!

Hannover is not the biggest, but the first big show each year in Germany. A visit is a must for each poultry breeder in Germany, but showing birds became very expensive.

Especially this year are the German Masters of the chicken and waterfowl breeder in Hannover.

I was tempted to go to the Lipsia show. That sounds very good. I heard this may be up to 30'000 birds? I bought some Streicher ducks from Hannover in 2009 - you have so many in Germany compared to the UK.

I would be interested to know what other big shows there are in Germany?

I am still looking for a photo of Leine Geese which I will only find in Germany.

Hi Tim!

Use the following link for a picture of Leine Geese:
http://www.gefluegelzeitung.de/?redid=351344&seite=0
It is a article of the Deutsche Geflügelzeitung about Hannover 2010.

I breed also Elsesser Geese and Pommerian Geese, both in grey. Furthermore I have Orpington Ducks, Call ducks pied and yellow belly and salmon Wyandotte Bantams.

Hi Germancall.

Thanks for the link... I am hoping to take a photo (or have someone take a photo for me) of Leine Ganse for this page: Breeds of Geese.

You can see the sort of photo I am looking for...

I am trying to cover all of the main breeds in Europe but there are still a few to go.

Thanks for the information on the shows.

Very well! But I miss Elsesser Geese. . . .

 

[Tim]

Yes, indeed! I will need to learn about them too
