Young animal exhibition Obergünzburg for our young breeders

YOUTH TENT CAMP 2025

A trip to the Birk Ark Farm in Hellengerst.

In glorious sunshine, we enjoyed a comprehensive tour of the farm. We not only saw the animals, all of which are on the Red List of endangered species, but were also allowed to feed and pet them.
A herd of approximately 50 original Allgäu Brown Swiss cows is truly impressive in person.
Augsburg chickens and a group of mountain sheep rounded out the animal program.
Afterwards, we treated ourselves to coffee and cake in the farm’s café. All in all, a truly wonderful and informative outing.
Everyone agreed that we should repeat such an activity soon.
It was great!

Open Day at the club grounds on May 4, 2025

On Sunday, May 4th, the
Lechbruck Small Animal Breeders Association once again opened its gates for its annual
open house. Unfortunately, the weather was
n’t as kind to us as last year, but we were still able to welcome
many visitors, friends, and supporters to our
breeding facility at Rottachweiher in Lechbruck.
Breeders showcased a wide variety of chicken breeds, as well as rabbits and guinea pigs. There was even a broody hen with nine chicks to admire. A comprehensive program of activities was offered for children.
Refreshments were available, including a large selection of homemade cakes and tarts.
Tobias Hipp, the association’s president, and Christoph Kirchner, the vice president, were available to answer questions on the day.
At the rooster crowing contest, Martin Niggl’s rooster, “Erwin,” had to defend his first-place title from last year – unfortunately, without success. The winners in the adult category of large roosters were Sigi Menz’s rooster, which crowed 24 times, and Susi Papenbrock’s rooster, which crowed 2 times.
In the adult category of bantam roosters, Tobias Hipp’s rooster came in first with 19 crows, Ralf Rutka’s rooster second with 8 crows, and Anita Hipp’s rooster third with 7 crows.
In the youth category, Romy Riedle’s rooster took first place with an incredible 42 crows, Klilian Hack’s rooster second with 18 crows, and Leonhard Riedle’s rooster third with 14 crows.
