View attachment 3653019This is a chick Aurora, who is an EE that is in my profile picture. In this picture she is hanging out with my squash seedlings. This is all the way back in springtime.
Here she is now.

She has grown up into such a gorgeous pullet. At one point I was afraid she was a cockerel but she had the name Aurora from the start.

What a gorgeous chicken!

I highly suggest taking photos now!! I’m already getting some fall photos for next year’s calendar contest

This way you get more of a selection to go through and not just one season photos to enter as well! Also great because you can get some good tips by going through and seeing what style of photos got nominated/won in previous years and any helpful comments people have had for taking photos! Plus you can enter earlier in the contest running period so you can get some helpful tips incase the photos don’t fit the qualifications

I just wanted to also throw out some good photo opportunities to get; dust bathing pics, free ranging pictures, themed sets with the chick(en) (Easter/Thanksgiving/Halloween/Fall/Christmas/etc.), individually photograph them or even a group of them, etc. the possibilities are endless! Making sure you have chicken only photos that way we could stick with the same rules as this one that’s just ended!

Since we are sharing chick photos I just have to show you these cuties I picked up with their mama a few weeks ago

These would probably be some good examples for the broody hen and chick contest they also had running this summer! Lol I just love taking photos of chickens and when I get new chooks I can’t help but get snap happy


I’ve also been checking here nonstop waiting most definitely patiently for an update

What a beautiful EE! What colour are her legs and bottoms of her feet? She almost looks identical to what I’d expect a pure Ameraucana to be! Plus her beard and muffs are the most luscious I’ve ever seen
