Rating: Summary: There's Nothing Foul about These Fowl! Review: This was a book that I purhcased by chance, just because I am beginning my own chicken flock. The book is mostly beautiful images of various breeds of chicken, from Japanese bantams to silver laced wyandottes. Each photo is accompanied by the breed, gender, and a little information about the breed. Whether you're an amateur chicken owenr like me, someone who shows their birds, or just a fan of beautiful photos, this book should definitely be considered!
Rating: Summary: The chicken came first Review: Who could have thought: page after page, the most curious looking, proudly multicolored barnyard beauties. Sometimes staring right into the photographer's lens, sometimes looking like they have just landed from another planet in a feathery suit that even an italian opera costume designer would not have thought of. Ms. Staples choice of format, the classic portraiture, is exactly what these astonishing animals needed to go from the rank of breakfast suppliers to natural wonders. Her careful choice of backdrop and revealing lighting open the reader to a new and hidden culture. The text introduces us to the contests these rare birds are so carefully selected for and helpful fact sheets will draw in oncologists, ornitologists and photographers around the coffee table. A perfect present to anyone who thought they had seen it all.
