Description
Photograph of a diverse flock of free range hens. There are 4 breeds represented here: naked neck, faverolle, cochin, and sussex. Although these breeds all look dramatically different from one another they tolerate each other well and dare I say - they are friends.
While I love their diversity, in this image I am particularly taken with the naked neck. There are different types of naked necks, some with tufts of feathers down the front of their neck, but the back of the neck is bald. Some with a ring of feathers around their neck like a bow tie. This one is completely bald of feathers down her neck, which is typical for her breed.
What I love about her is that she stands so tall and proud among her feathered friends completely unaware that she is at all different. Or perhaps proud to be different - who knows.
