5 Tips for Photographing Chickens

[sophiaw00]

Oooh I love this post!! I totally agree with all those tips. I've always loved photographing my cats, dog, and the neighbors dogs so when I got chickens I thought it wouldn't be very hard. Boy, was I wrong! They are such difficult subjects! Here's a few of my best pics:














These three are from my homecoming this year with my best friend and our favorite girl, Tot. Oh & yes, our dates thought it was hilarious (and strange) we weren't afraid to get our dresses dirty as long as we got a picture with our girls!

What good pictures! I love their names! Those homecoming pictures are PERFECT, I love the foot-pop picture. I'm so glad your dates were patient and understanding.

Thanks for the tips! My chickens are usually calm -- until the camera comes out!

A few of my better shots:

And of course some hens are total hams ^






Chickens are always moving so it's always a challenge to get a photo of them that isn't blurry!

What breed is the hen in the 6th picture - she's gorgeous! Also, I might be mistaken but is that rooster a salmon faverolle (they are my favorite breed)? He looks like one but I can't see feathers on his leg. Either way, gorgeous!!

Thanks, she's a Mille fleur d'Uccle hen named Sunshine.

And no, the rooster is an Easter Egger. I've never raised salmon feverolles, but I think they are so pretty, in fact I have them on my ''breeds I'd some day like to get'' list. Are they good layers/docile?

What lovely pictures! Thank you so much for sharing. I love Sunshine and her pose for the camera!

Oh, I love our Salmon Faverolles! They are so sweet and docile. Ours lay very well and their hatching rate is fantastic.

Here is one of my favorite shots of these sweet girls:

Thank you, That Feverolle hen is so pretty, I love that fluffy beard! Once some of my hens get older, I may replace them with some Feverolles, those fluffy beards are to much to pass up!
