And some other pictures from this month. We held a special day showing Campines, Brakels and Chaams all together. Nice!

And some older pictures of Campine hens, from 1865 and 1893. Looks like they have rose combs, not to mention very watery pencilling. These could be the ancestors of both the current Campines and of the pencilled Hamburgs.

Just made new contact. Swedish Campines! One of the nicest pictures I'v seen lately.

Has anyone heard about mahony as a type of golden? An Italian Campinist just told me that these roosters have a mahony factor making the gold deeper. More brown.

hm, don't know, there are about 80 years or more of seperation between the two breeds. I think it was just some sort of sport. By the way, today we had our Campineclass. In an actual class room. Everyone paying attention?

Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the last ASAP (hard to get it in Belgium) but over here we make do with this 1914 drawing as the ideal to strive for. And not forgetting productivity and liveliness in the hens as well. The hen accompanying the rooster in the picture below was close to...

Hi there everyone, I just noticed this new thread,very nice. Too mucht to comment on already, but here's my story. Born and bred in the capital of the Campine region in Belgium I spent my youth admiring the Braekels my father and uncle used to have. Later on I learned that my region used to have...
