I photographed this rainbow chicken at Tocal Field Day on Sunday.
There were a whole bunch of colourful chickens, some were blue, some were yellow, some green etc. but this one was my favourite because it was rainbow.
It wasn't easy to get a photo of them all together because for one there were a whole bunch of kids around and also an enormous turkey was in the pen with the chickens and was strutting his stuff and spoiling the picture.
Can't believe it, why would a agricultural college contemplate doing such a thing, great capture Babs with lovely colour and fine detail, its just a little unsettling for me brought up on a traditional English farm:)
@beryl@pcoulson Good point, but I am sure she is much happier strutting around here with her friends than being plucked, decapitated and cooking in a pot at 200 degrees C.
for those who were concerned about the colouring on this chook, I am assured by the staff at the Agricultural College that no chooks were harmed during this process and I believe that it is just food colouring. It will wash off when she goes out in the rain.
After all us girls always love to have our hair coloured and be pampered so why not the chickens and I am sure we have all eaten cakes with food colouring on the icing and we are still here to tell the tale.
