Type of pigeon
Deze groep heeft zijn naam te danken aan het uiterlijk, dat wel wat lijkt op dat van een kip. Kipduiven zijn bij uitstek geschikt om in een duivenvoliŹre gehouden te worden, omdat het geen echte vliegers zijn: ze scharrelen graag rond op de grond. Onderling zijn kipduiven over het algemeen niet de meest vriendelijke duiven, dus je kunt er niet veel bij elkaar in hetzelfde hok houden. Zorg in elk geval voor voldoende ruimte en vooral ook zitjes, zodat er geen strijd hoeft uit te breken over de beste plaatsen. Als je met deze dieren wilt fokken, kun je een doffer en duivin het beste apart zetten; de paren kunnen in de voortplantingsperiode onderling namelijk nogal onvriendelijk zijn. Kipduiven zijn onder andere zo populair omdat ze heel makkelijk tam worden.
Een aantal bekende kipduiven
- Duitse Modena
- Engelse Modena
- King
- Malthezer Kipduif
I've searched around on the net quite a bit on this subject and it seems to me that Kipduiv is known as Modena in English, meaning that I have to improvise the first sentence quite a bit. Before I do that I'd like some confirmation that I am correct in my assumption.
I had a look at the "chicken pigeon" option, which does not sound correct to me to begin with, nor could I find any solid reference to that effect.
TIA

Nederlands term (edited):
Maltezer kipduif
Selected
Maltese (pigeon)
The Maltese pigeon is a radical departure from the common type of pigeon in that it stands high on straight legs, has a very long slender neck and a short tucked up body (cubiform). The bird should be very tall, with a short hard compact body and not so heavy as to mar the elegance or its figure nor its grace. It should carry its head high and when driving throw its head backward almost to its tail. An ideal specimen should stand fifteen or more inches in height. We are currently looking for a picture of a Maltese.

From another site:
KIPDUIVEN - - MALTESE BREEDS and MODENAS
As a general name you could use "hen pigeons" (many Google hits).

Northward into Italy, the Modena (Triganica) was once an example of a tremendous flying pigeon for not only homing and the sport of "le guerra" (The War), but also for high and long flight; that is until the outsider destroyed the breed by cross-ing into Maltese, Hungarians and other *Hen pigeons* to create a purely exhibition pigeon.

This Australian site also uses "hen pigeons" as a breed name, so maybe you might consider it:

I've also thought of hen-like or hen-type pigeons, but they produce no hits.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your input, but a hen pigeon is not a type of pigeon, but a female pigeon. |
| Hen pigeon may be correct after all, but the problem I'm facing is that the guide I'm translating is intended for beginner pigeon fanciers and the part that precedes this is about breeding. The author often referred to cocks and hens, so I'm not quite sure if this would work well. |

I know, that's why I suggested "hen pigeons" in a note.
