Another one to add to my ever-growing list of chickens I'd like to have. I think I have a thing for the crested breeds

I already had 2 entries, I am trying to enter 2 more, but my flock just not doing it...whenever I have the phone near them, they disperse. I will get some food to bribe them.

I had the same trouble, bribery didn't work because they had their heads down. I had to meander around the yard and pretend I wasn't watching them. When ever I would crouch down to get a good shoot a few would come over to to see what I was doing.

Let hope you and I have better luck soon

It is a challenge to take a photo of chickens..who would thought? We are having overcast weather these last 2 days so far, no sun so I can not take any photo.

I find that overcast days are better with mine. If it's too hot they find a shady spot or cool dirt patch to lay in and don't do much.

I got really good shots around 5-6 pm as the sun was setting and they were winding down for the day.

Edit: I should also add I shoot video and pull stills from that. Anytime I'd try to take pictures they'd either get spooked by something and run off or move their heads.
