    Need photos of chickens roosting!

    Hi everyone- I’m looking for reference photos for a painting I am going to be doing in the near future- I am looking for photos of chickens roosting... looking straight on either from the front or back- just so the roosting bar is completely horizontal across the photo. Hope I described what I...

    What type of dog is best?

    I have a big German Shepherd- he was 7 when I got chickens... he’s very well trained but still needed about 3 days of supervision and corrections to be good off leash with the chickens free ranging. He’s awesome now! He doesn’t even try to kill the roosters when they go after him. :)

    What breed is she??

    She’s flighty... but she held her own against a hawk- hawk was injured... she was not!

    What breed is she??

    Well that explains a lot! I only was getting white eggs (hardly any) between her, two leghorns and a special needs Orpington. Good to know she could be laying the white eggs as well as the leghorns (although she’s been much slower to develop her comb)

    Her breed identification and the color of eggs texpect would be helpful!!

    Getting into the Christmas spirit today

    Thank you! I did this on a whim during my Xmas decoration unpacking- I (unfortunately) usually don’t have extra time to create artwork ‘for fun’ but it’s because I’m booking a few months in advance now for commissioned pieces(so it’s not all bad since this is how I make my living) :)

    Hen or Roo? Blue gold partridge brahmas

    Great thanks!! How can you tell blue gold vs gold? I bought hatching eggs off eBay- and the eggs were listed as “blue gold partridge-greenfire farms line” these are my first brahmas but definitely not my last

    Hen or Roo? Blue gold partridge brahmas

    I’m guessing I have 2 boys and 1 girl. They are 8weeks old. My guesses are written on pic- Colors correlate to the same bird in each pic! Blue Green Yellow

    Any Artists in the house?

    Wow that’s awful! That really sucks that happened to you. This is really good information. Some of my work is not “original” (I have used paintings as a reference to better my technique) but I always state it’s not my original idea and never sell those pieces/always give the original artist...
