Its surprising how much colour there is in the black feathers of birds when the sun hits them just right. My sister is the one who has always grown all the chickens on the farm. She has about five varieties right now. Some are small with feathers growing down their legs all the way to the ground, giving them the appearence of wearing feather cover-alls. Some are pure black and fluffy while others are thinner with tufts of feathers growing out the sides of their faces.These are Ameraucana's, they lay blue green eggs of a good size considering they are rather a slim little chicken. When they were younger they would hang out together and run from location to location, never walk. We have always called them the black crow gang.
The small rooster in the painting is a Banty, although they are of small size, they make up for it with attitude.
