Shields' Greenhouses at Spraggs, PA, features a hidden menagerie of exotic fowl. With the owner's permission, I went up to his barn to check out the emus and peafowl. Perhaps I'll come up with a decent shot of one of those, but for now let me introduce you to one of the roosters.
I believe it's a Plymouth Rock (a.k.a., a Barred Rock) rooster. I've been told that this is actually a
Dominique rooster. The difference is in the
comb: A Dominique has a "rose" comb, while a Plymouth has a "single" comb.
These shots were post-processed as impasto landscape/small brush paintings via Alien Skin's
SnapArt filters.
You need to click on and expand these images in order to view them properly.
Chanticleer is not a particularly appropriate name for an American Plymouth Rock rooster. I'm invoking
poetic license.
