All I know about chickens is that hens lay eggs (hopefully!!) and roosters crow (alway too early!!. I can tell you for sure that this is a great shot!!

AWESOME!!

The extent of my chicken knowledge is that I can mostly tell a chicken from a not-chicken...this is a chicken (I think!) Great portrait!

Like everyone else, my chickenology is woefully limited...I know that the females lay eggs and that the males are loud, that they taste good when cooked right, and are extremely fluffy as chicks. That's about it though...oh, and they're distant, distant, distant descendants of dinosaurs, which explains why they're shaped like velocoraptors...only they don't hunt in packs and exhibit coordinated social behavior beyond picking en-mass. But yeah, even with my woeful knowledge of chickens, I must say that I love this shot and will have to see if someone I know recognizes this breed. I have friends who raise urban chickens and I'm sure they'll have some clue. Great shot here. The details are fantastic!

I don't know....if it weren't for the beak and little red wattle I'd say it was either an eagle, falcon or hawk. Stellar clarity and textures in this top notch capture of the chicken, Bill. Oh, and please check out the automobile fotos I posted over the last week or so.

I can add that they taste good in various forms, but it appears that she is giving you and us the evil eye!

Great macro!

the only thing I know about chickens is I enjoy eating them.nice shot Bill

Could be a cross-bred. The markings seem larger than the pictures of Plymouth Rocks I pull up on the Internet. My BiL has chicken/turkey crosses called churkeys, and apparently they are super ugly, but lay good eggs, and taste good. Interesting image here of this one. Maybe it's a young one?

wonderful photo!!

I guess you ran into my daughter in Kansas. She just got back 2 days ago and is planning on moving there within the year she loved it so much. LOL I'll have to ask her if you bumped into each other. :-) This is a great shot. I'm not a chicken expert but I know this looks like a hen. Great expression.

I like chickens My grandparents used to raise them I always loved to gather the eggs Of course that has been awhile back LOL Great capture Hugs Susan~

very good shot. like the pov of this shot. as for the chicken; i do not know what it is. most of the ones I saw was dead ones in the store.

makes me stare back wonderful capture and missed you too warm hugs, Linda

Like Chip I lack any diplomas or degrees in Chickology Bill, but it's a fine looking clucka.

Fantastic shot!!

I think that is the KFC species!

I know a chicken, when I see it, but no more, but I just luve chicken of nostalgic reasons. I love the sound of them too. Welcome back Bill. :-)

Beautiful portrait Bill. Strange to see a chicken with its clothes on!!! Lol.

I always want to cuddle hens, some will let you and some will not! This one, however, looks a lttle suspicious, probably as you are questioning her parentage.

A great portrait! She seems to be a very determed lady? ;o)

Looks like dinner to me lol, nice shot Bill..

I believe what you have there is a Speckled Sussex. I'm no chicken expert, but I Googled on "black and white speckled chicken" and narrowed it down from there. I don't need to be a chickenologist ... just know where to find one! :P This is a brilliant photo! Having seen the original, I can't tell you how impressed I am with your postwork and your mastery of cloning. It's good to have you home! :*

wonderful!
