I know that this chicken/egg theme can be carried too far, but this is just too beautiful not to share. One of my pals gave me a set of notecards that have photographs of the most beautiful chickens I have ever seen. The photographs come from a new book, The Fairest Fowl: Portraits of Championship Chickens, taken by a terrific photographer named Tamara Staples. You can see more examples of her work here. It’s all great stuff, but I particularly like this photo of this bruiser of a Dark English Large Fowl—check out those feet!—and I am enchanted by this Bearded White Silkie Bantam. I look at these amazing birdies, and I can’t stop smiling.
