Pedigree poultry exhibition in Prenzlau: A festival for animal lovers!
An experience that will make your heart beat faster! Nine years old but with a passion like a pro! Little Louis was with his grandparents, Wolfgang and Silvia Arndt, in the Uckerseehalle in Prenzlau to marvel at the breathtaking diversity of the pedigree poultry exhibition. The journey from Grüneberg near Oranienburg was absolutely worth it! Louis proudly revealed that his grandfather breeds pigeons and he often hangs out with him. “I like pigeons!” he beams.
The show not only attracted local breeders, but also fans from Schwedt, Pasewalk and beyond! A total of 440 animals from different breeds of chickens and pigeons were in the spotlight - a real feast for the eyes! Thorsten Pansegrau, the committed chairman of the pedigree poultry breeding association, leads the visibly impressed guests through this colorful world of poultry farming.
A creative donation project inspires visitors
A highlight of this event was a brilliant photo campaign with the shy chicken Borgi, who is looked after by the talented Lina-Katharina Zinser. For one euro, visitors could take a souvenir photo with the feathered star! Mayor Hendrik Sommer didn't miss the opportunity to kick things off with a 100 euro donation to strengthen the club's close support.
The amount collected will be used for an exciting school project that will introduce children to the fascinating world of animal husbandry. “We want to buy a display incubator to show the children what life is like when the chicks hatch!” explains club member Tony Witte with shining eyes. This exciting project could spark a love of animal husbandry in elementary schools.
Preserving rare breeds is a must!
The association has also set itself the goal of promoting future-oriented chicken keeping among young people, because the trend towards self-sufficiency with eggs is emerging! “We have to promote rare breeds!” says Pansegrau with conviction. Words of praise also came from Werner Stolzmann, who, despite his 86 years, spoke with a big heart about a breed that he bred with passion for two decades. This exhibition is a strong symbol of the fascination and importance of breathing new life into rare poultry breeds!
