Another week and this time Victoria is our main subject. I’ve decided to take a portrait of her on one foot, macro of her feathers, and THREE eggs between the two chickens (one of them laid an extra one overnight!). For the Macro photos (feathers and eggs), I used my Sigma 105mm. For the other […]

Another week and I would like to say the girls are more active… but they are not. They find themselves little nooks in the shade, have a dirt bath and just chill.

Chickens are now having a lot of fun out in the sun. Even though there still are 22 days until the Spring Equinox, the girls are starting to feel it. Here they are frolicking around this weekend.

Yesterday the day was beautiful, so my partner and I went plane spotting. It had been over a year since the last time we went plane spotting. This time we were a lot more focused, we knew the ‘good spot’ to take photos. I took my Big Bertha lens (the Sigma 150-600mm) so that I […]

He started crowing and with that, bothering the neighbors. Dean managed to reduce his crowing by putting a colar on him. A few weeks ago, […]

One night we left the gates opened and found them at a neighbor’s house. Albert has become a nuisance. His crowing bothers the neighbors, he’s scaring the […]

This week is all about Victoria. She’s been more present, specially with Albert running horny after her non-stop. She has been fleeing from him like “the devil from the cross” (as goes the Brazilian saying). Here are the photos of Victoria and Sophia for this week.

Albert has started growing acustomed to us being around and now doesn’t even run. Today he allowed me to touch him without chasing him OR offering a worm. He would’ve probably run if I had made any gesture that resembled that I was going to try to pick him up. Here are this week(end)’s photos.

During this week, something unexpected happened: I came home to a rooster in the chicken run. Nana’s boyfriend’s dog had attacked a rooster in his yard and they didn’t know what to do with it. So Nana decided to add it to our collection, in hopes to see little chicks in spring. We have taken […]
