COMMUNITY CHICKEN PROJECT Koen Vanmechelen COMMUNITY CHICKEN PROJECT Koen Vanmechelen Open University of Difference (OpUnDi), Wasserman Projects, Detroit (US), 2016 CCP, The Future of Hope, Harare (ZW), 2015 CCP, De Hoev, Zonhoven (BE), 2015 La Biomista, Genk (BE), 2015-09-22 Artist Koen Vanmechelen COMMUNITY CHICKEN PROJECT Koen Vanmechelen Modern poultry flocks have become genetically impoverished due to industrialised farming and are at considerable risk from diseases. The continuous crossbreeding of chicken species in the Cosmopolitan Chicken Project (CCP), which is artistic-philosophical in nature has resulted in the birth of chickens that show a remarkably higher genetic diversity. Their immense gene pool consists of a whopping 13 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The Cosmopolitan Chicken Research Project (CC®P) studies them and revealed the genetic enrichment through crossbreeding. A new project, the Community Chicken Project has to prevent inbreeding by injecting the genetic diversity into other species. The layout of the plan is like this: every year a rooster of the newest crossbreed will be paired with a regular egg laying chicken. This chicken will absorb the genetic pool of the CCP rooster and produce a vital community chicken who can provide the communities it lives in with healthy eggs. The time is now. The growing popularity of chickens is a fact, but at the same time the food insecurity increases. Even in richer countries the sudden halt of food supplies through calamities, wars, riots or climate change can lead to much misery. The need for food security and food independency of traditional industrial supply has played a pivotal role in the growing resurgence of small-scale agriculture, from raising homegrown vegetables to homebred animals. The first species to be introduced in this new project will be the Mechelse Cemani, the 19th generation of the CCP. The next generation, will be the typical chicken from Detroit; the Wyandotte. This crossbreeding (CCP20) will be raised at Wasserman Projects, located at the Eastern Market in Detroit. Other experimental labs will be based in Belgium, Harare (Zimbabwe), and Havana (Cuba). The animals will bring new diversity and food security to certain urban communities there. The birds in every location will be subject to scientific research. With this project, Vanmechelen takes the next step in positioning art categorically where it belongs: in the middle of society, engaged with people, always committed. Important is that the communities involved are linked to each other. They are small parts of a plural and diverse society that is being formed. The artist refers to his artwork The Tower of Babel which was first presented at the biennial of Poznan and now houses one of the Community projects. The 13m high tower, reaching for the eternal is a cultural adaptation of its prototype and consists of cages and chicken crossbreeds. The always present tension translates itself in an upward or downward movement. The building blocks of the Tower seem like mirror movements. Every part is connected to other parts, like the communities will be linked through the chickens they adopted. The Tower stands for limited and controlled growth. A watchtower for the urban farming initiatives that accompany the community chicken.

A possible variant of the use of these cockerels could be organic or free-range farming, where it is desirable that the animals are fattened for a longer period of time, are more physically active, and graze pasture vegetation. Another possibility is dual-purpose genotype breeding, where hens are used for egg production and cockerels are fattened for meat. In the present study, three genotypes of dual-purpose cockerels Dominant were compared. All three genotypes showed the ability to graze with resulting improvements in meat quality. The Dominant 102 cockerels have the greatest prerequisites for use in extensive fattening, mainly due to higher performance, willingness to graze and vitamin E content, which protects the fat from becoming rancid. Abstract: The culling of layer cockerels due to economic inefficiency is an ethical problem. Organic or free-range fattening of these cockerels or dual-purpose genotypes breeding is a possible solution to this problem.

Dear reader, A nice and thick autumn issue is ready for you to read. You see, we do not cut corners on the pages! Yet it is every time a considerable challenge to get it all online for you. And also in two languages! The name of the author and the photographer is always stated in an article, but there are also a number of 'silent workers' who help translate, and so-called 'native speakers' who then apply the finishing touch. Each in his profession, so the pigeons, poultry and waterfowl articles go to an expert in that field. We like to put these people in the spotlight by naming them here: In the Netherlands: Luuk Hans, Henk Meijers and Willem van Ballekom. In Germany: Mick Bassett, Thomas Hellmann and Arjan Warnshuis. In England: Denise Moss, Rinke Berkenbosch, Jim Mullan, Michael Hart and Frank Bridgland. In Australia: Greg Davies and Erik Berrevoets. In Romania: Bobo Athes and in de USA: Bill Burnside. Without their help Aviculture Europe could not exist! Moreover, there are always people welcome who occasionally want to help translate Dutch into English or vice versa, many hands make light work! Please contact the chief editor at [email protected] if you want to join the team. We wish you pleasant reading and for those who have not done it already: please subscribe to our newsletter by sending us your e-mail address, so that you will be automatically informed about the publishing of each new issue.
