G'day,
This is the post #295 in the Campine Section where I added the link to my paper called "The Charm of the Campine". In there I mainly cover my involvement, the Australian Standards (which is basically similar to the British Standards and very similar to the American Standards) some...
G'day Fred,
I once posted a link to a paper, in this forum, that I wrote on Campines and as far as I am aware only one or two people looked at it. I've only been breeding them since the 1950's, so maybe I am too inexperienced, or perhaps it's the fact that I am not in the USA.
Kind regards...
G'day again from Australia,
Below is a link to the paper that I recently presented as part of a Power Point presentation on Campines.
It is Australian based but I trust you may enjoy it...

G'day Deb,
He was Best in Show within the Campine section of that show. The Champion was decided from the Silvers and Golds. I think from memory that there were about 32 assorted Campines in various Cock, Hen, Cockerel and Pullet classes in both colours that day.

I was more than pleased he got the award and that day we picked up Reserve as well...
G'day from Australia, Dan.
I have originals of American Poultry Journal - June 1913 where a Silver Campine Cockerel belong to Frank E. Hering - South Bend, Indiana is on the front cover.
I also have the issue of July 1930 with a pair of Silvers in full colour is on the cover. In the 1930...
G'day and thanks for the lovely welcome,
yes, I have both Silver and Gold Campines, but my preference is the Silver variety. I just think a Silver Campine flock picking away on green grass is such a beautiful sight.
I fairly green to this type of forum but later I can try to add some...
G'day from Australia,
One of my grandkids found this forum so we thought we would join it. I'm just getting over a major heart attack and open heart surgery, so this is great therapy for me.
I have been breeding & exhibiting Campines (& other fowls) since I was a young boy, and for well over...
