This feather is from Hoot, our Easter Egger chicken that lays teal green eggs.
Here's an assortment from our 5 chickens.
We don't have a Partridge in a Pear Tree, but this certainly would be a beautiful bird for a garden.
Speaking of which, I'll be going to my first poultry show in College Station, Texas on January 7th.
I'll see all types of chickens and take pictures for you at the Brazos Valley Poultry event. http://www.bluebonnetclassic.com/

ReplyDeleteFeathers are fascinating aren't they. Love how the little bits zip and unzip to keep the feather whole.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful macro shot!
ReplyDeleteThat brings back memories - we had chickens when I was a kid. We played with the feathers, making up all kinds of pretend games with them!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful feathers.

Who knew chickens could be so pretty! We had the plain ol' vanilla variety when I was a kid. I'd sure love to have some now, but do not have a good spot to keep them and I'm afraid it would be a constant battle to keep critters out.
