| 2012: Poultry (Design - T Lindstrom) |
Agricultural Shows are still in full swing and they always include various competitions for poultry. There is a mind blowing number of classes for hard and soft feather varieties and it is all for glory as the prize money is minuscule. These Swedish cockerels and hens look fine enough to show.

Bottom - Swedish Flower hen an endangered breed; Painted Hen

Any one of them would make a nice snack for this fellow, Sweden's largest bird of prey.

I have developed quite a crush on the many varieties of chickens!
And that streamer of a tail on the Jamaican bird!!
All lovely but the chickens especially!
I never think of chickens and hens when it is about birds! Those stamps are gorgeous. I also love the German series, especially the one with the nest.
