Chicken

Feature 4 February - Unique
Met a friend for coffee for her birthday. This group of baby chicks and their mum popped in to say hello. Mum was not too keen on allowing me to get to close to her babies and kept putting herself between me and them!

Did this mom chicken have only one leg, or is it tucked up? I like both of your shots!

@bbf Lol! She has two legs, hadn't even noticed that only one was visible!

terrific shot! a one legged mama?!

[Sally Ings]

@eniaral She does have two legs but I have noticed that occasionally a chicken will tuck one leg up giving the appearance of having only one leg!

I like the focus, which makes the chicks look even fluffier.

that's one fierce looking hen. what timing you had making her look like she's one-legged. great shot, sally.
