The Bas-Rhin Poultry Federation website.
The website of the Haut-Rhin poultry farming federation.
In the past, everyone had a few chickens and rabbits at home, it went with country life. Today, many Alsatians still have them, but more for pleasure than to eat: it is selection poultry farming, the family-type breeding of purebred farmyard animals, there are pigeons , hens… yes roosters too, geese, rabbits, let’s mention a few regional breeds jumbled up: the hoopoe from Soultz, the shortbread from the Vosges, the boulant from Alsace, and so many others. The associations meet several times a year to compare specimens and award prizes.
This makes it possible to compete with other breeders, and to present this rich palette of shapes, types and varieties to the public.
