Here's one from the A100 - ISO 320 on aut ISO, too - a couple of years ago. Scotty, the grey mother hen, is all that's left now. She survived the fox which killed all the chicks we kept, late last year.

This shot has yet to sell, which is surprising.

It's a wonderful image but maybe a little tight?

Lovely entries yet again!
And it's great to see more donkeys and finally a hen and she's packed with chicks! :D What would a farm be without one?

Winston has a point there, maybe just a little more space around them....but I love the intimacy of the family.

Thanks

Thanks for you efforts, Yildiz.
Congratulations, Paul.

I guess I have to wonder about the effort expended to find only twelve people with enough energy to mouse-click a vote.

Congratulations Paul and Yildiz don't worry for the sample size. After all this was the first time, and frankly I did enjoy it. :D
So congratulations to you too, Yildiz for a difficult task.
Time to jump for the second challenge... :D
