Title: Photo of one of my wheaten pullets enjoying the sun
Post by: philipu on October 15, 2009, 06:58:37 PM

All the birds are busy outside, enjoying the sun....
it\'s up in the 60\'s today, so they are making the most of it,
don\'t want their picture taking though...
I did get picture of one of my wheaten pullets,
Lucky I got these I guess.
Hope all are doing well, and enjoying the birds.

Very pretty girl, and nice shots.  It\'s not easy getting chickens to pose.  Nice to see someone enjoying some sunshine for a change!  

I was trying to take some shots of my roosters combs the other day for a kind of comparative analysis (not sure what to call it really) lesson thing we were doing on one of the Marans groups.  I must have taken 10 to 15 bad shots to every decent one.  Ever try to get a rooster to not turn his head at every little sound?

tie a baby rattler or a small metal can with pebbles in it to your ankle so that you can shake it just before you snap the picture.  you can also tie a jingle bell to your shoe lace.

The jingle bell sounds like a good idea, and I happen to have a few lying around.  Thanks!
