Open Contest Winter on the Farm Photo Contest

[kattabelly]

Very pretty boys. One of my favorite rooster was a RIR. Love that color.

The one on the left unfortunately hit the terrible teens hard, and I souped him right after he attacked a broody who wouldn't squat for him.

The one on the right is shaping up to be a good boy though. He's still very rough with the girls when it comes to mating but otherwise a perfect gentleman towards both the flock and me. I know the lighter hackle isn't ideal SOP-wise but I don't breed for exhibition, and I love how it looks in the sunshine - like he's on fire.

Since I'm talking about him, I might as well enter another photo of him. This still doesn't do his hackle colour justice - IRL he's luminous.

We are reaching the end of this contest. It ends tomorrow February 28, at 11:59 pm Pacific time. Hurry up with your last minute entries before winter melts away.

Thanks for the heads-up on the contest, but personally, I'm beginning to think that this winter will never melt away!

... I souped him ...
