I would try to get down lower with the camera if I were you.
Go back out there and get lower so your eye level and take a few of this exact bird so you can compare the differences.

Good advice from Kiki there. Some additional notes from me:

First image is nicely in focus but you've clipped the front and back. You can probably crop the whole thing down to focus more on the head and get a nice result from it. Light is decent for being taken under shade. Coloring is good, not too blown out or muddy.

The second image you are back-focused. The sharpest point of focus is her back, instead of her face. The composition is better, you have the whole bird in frame this time, but because her head's out of focus it throws the whole shot off. Again, you could crop out the birds in the background and get a nice vertical shot out of this kind of image with the focus properly adjusted.

Chickens move so erratically and quick it can be hard to capture them with a cell camera (or other point and shoot type camera) sometimes due to the shutter delay between when you "click it" and when the image is actually taken. You can get around this by taking several of the same image and delete the ones that aren't the "best of the batch". Increases your odds of your flock not foiling you (or wind with flowers, which happens a LOT).

This Is great advice thank. you. Back to the drawing

These are both just fine as snapshots. Watch your lighting angle, with the sun behind your subject they can get lost in shadow, but it's not too bad here. Again, I would come down a bit and shoot with a bit more up angle, but that's a tiny little nit pick. Importantly, your horizon is (pretty close to) level!

Thanks I appreciate it

I'm just testing a background for a potential Floofer photoshoot.

I did use the real camera and those pictures look 100 times worse than these:


This dumb dumb doesn't keep still.

I read through your photo School on critiquing photographs so maybe you could critique this picture? I did different ones
Thank you for the information.

The first picture is the better one. As suggested before, get down lower. Also, put more space in front of the hen. It'll give it a better effect.
