Ok everyone lets see your photo fails or out takes .I' ll start with one of mine.
I told him I was going to be taking his picture for the show , Blue wheaten ameraucana rooster, but it was about a week or 2 later before I got around to it. The first picture shows what he usually looks like the second picture shows what he looks like now! The girls must have shaved him for his picture!!! I didn't notice till I started his photo shoot and then I was like What the xcxz!

Poor guy! He even looks a bit confused lol
Millie was my out take queen this year. She was just so curious about what was happening. She wasn’t trying to escape at all but wanted to investigate everything.
And then there was Little. I didn’t want enter her st all because she was the one that started swearing 🤬 and giving me the finger. She folded her tail up like a Japanese fan and refused to do anything properly.

Divas! What can you do!
I heard a story once of a top model who would be late or often times didn't show up. On one photo shoot she was late, the photographer took one picture before she said she had to go to the bathroom and never came back to finish the shoot. But that one photo he did get went nation wide, covers on numerous magazines , she was that good. Perhaps Little feels the same.

Ross I took hundreds of pics of her lol. None looked good. She sucked her breast in and squinted her face and folded that tail into a pencil point. Kenya's diva comment suits her perfect.

Yep I can imagine Happy . That's why show birds even my show pigeons spend a lot of time in show pens settling & learning to pose . Helps a lot if yu got one that likes to show .

Immediately after depositing this pullet in the "booth", she made an artistically placed deposit of her own.
She marched straight to the back, about-faced so fast I couldn't get a side shot, and marched towards me, quite upset I think, that none of the soup cans were open. I tried to convince her to turn and hit the shutter button by accident. She was convinced that since there was nothing in the cans for her to eat, then there must be something in the camera lens.

Lol @windwalkingwolf your girl wins hands down! What awesome aim. And she looks like she strutted to the end of the runway and turned on her heel to strike that pose.

Yes I do believe Happy is right, she's doing the model strut, not sure what her deposit says, but she sure has great aim.

Great pictures, love the American trim, happened every time I put a breeding trio together, took a picture and that was the last I ever saw of the beard.
Great pictures Happy, nice to see a completely relaxed bird, not affected by the sudden fame

That is indeed some aiming effort www, I am still stunned by the hen in the perfect center of 4 cans.
I haven't been able to post mine, for some reason it will not download my pictures all I am getting is an invalid file name, although I have tried to change it several times. Oh well, glad it didn't happen during the show.
