Photo booth for the "Ready made" crowd
Ok so one thing I have found out today. Set your photo booth up in your house. I decided to start with my sassiest victim...I'm a glutton for punishment. Tried this outside first then out of frustration moved to my best lit room in the house. She stood perfectly still. Didn't move her feet once. Hardly even looked around! Mind you her pics all looked like "big scared eyed mug shots" and I didn't realize how hard it was to focus on a jet black bird! But I got one entry in :)

Focus on the eye is the rule for any animal/bird.

Yup, I have 78 pictures of Flat Black bird with no discernible wings or feathers to prove it, if it wasn't that she got fed up and headed for the door, where she caught some light coming from that direction all I would have had was a Victorian Cut Out of a hen. :)

ok I finally picked a bird, a RIR pullet, its not the best one I produced, I lost 35 birds to a coon and he took out all the best ones I had. :-(
So I brought her in the house and washed her up. I didnt really have a plan before I grabbed her. she was such a champ and so good about it. she seemed to enjoy it almost. when I was done she stood on the dryer and didnt try to fly away on me. hmmm so what next, I brought her out in the sun room and sat her on the freezer while i figured out the "photo booth." ahhh a nice sunny spot over in the corner, ahh a white board! good idea Al! oh wait I need a can! ok got the can, n shes still standing on the freezer, good girl. I bring her over to the "booth" and took like 200 pics, all the really really good ones I had the can blocking her legs, grr! but i did capture a couple good ones and after some deliberations I choose one and submitted it. oh and btw as soon as she got comfortable in the sun room she no longer wanted her pic taken.
but darn it producing one good RIR this year is so frustrating! I also bred some light brown leghorns, crazy flighty nutty birds, lay great eggs but pics I highly doubt it. we also have the BSWT's, I'll see if Lizzie want to enter her birds under her name, we do have a few nice ones!
ok, Im in!

I'm lucky to have Cochin's! I think they are making this easy on me. So far they are just standing there lol. Like fluffy, stunned teddy bears.

Lol yes angry, stunned teddy bears! And I spoke too soon. The rooster was far from cooperative just now. Got a pic...not a great pic but one all the same. He's stunned from trying to jump through the bathroom mirror.

Me too, Happy! I think the pre-show antics are hilarious!
Sorry about your Reds, Al, that sucks. Hopefully with what you've got left you can get them back to where they were before, pretty quickly.
I've been tossing around the idea of chicken 'condos' for awhile, to separate breeding pairs/trios...and it occurs to me it would also be useful for taming/cage training. I think once I've got my extras put in the freezer, I'll get to work on that.

thanks WWW, thankfully my breeders are locked up tight and I still have all of them. I just lost a lot of what I produced this year which really sucks.
