Most people call this a rooster - I call it lunch:)

Last night, I went out to the chicken coop and caught this rooster. This morning, he confronted the machete... and lost.

We raise free range chickens for some eggs and for eating. This rooster wasn't laying any eggs, soooo....

Side note... photographed with my 70-300IS lens at 1/20sec with NO USM. Pretty sharp lens.

Great picture, just wish you'd left out the story. I could never eat anything I've seen alive.

I'd say that's a very sharp lens! Great detail and color. And funny story.

Mmmmm, taste like frog legs. I see the roosters pupil is pretty large... is that because you brought the machete with you? Great focus and clarity.

LOL OK well I am sure either you were teasing or there is a language difference here but in the UK we call male chickens either Cockerels or Roosters, which may explain the non egg laying

I tip my hat to a person who will eat meat and bring it to there own table. I guess I could if I was hungry enough but I am gald we have a supermarket down the road

Fantastic colours in this shot and a perfect focus. You can almost feel the textures of the feathers and the comb and the eye is supreme (lol actually after I wrote that I realised the whole animal might have ended up chicken supreme) Expect that the next time you are wandering round the land with your camera all the chickens to go into hiding for fear that they know what the next step is after you have photographed them

I thought you were kidding about lunch until I read your story. And I'm glad you didn't post the post-machete picture...

Wow, great detail in his comb; I've never really looked closely at one before, though we did have chickens when I was growing up (not for machete practice, though ;-Þ)
