A portrait I did for my sister's husband for Christmas! They have a bunch of chickens, all Buffs and Australorps, and one in particular caught my niece's eye when they were still young. My then 2 year old niece (now 3) name her Dugan, and told everyone Dugan was her friend. When asked how she know Dugan was her friend she replied "I looked him in the eye, and I just knew," in a matter of fact sort of 'duh, you guys' way! XD Of course, how obvious! Dugan IS a hen, but has a pretty mighty comb. So I had to use photos of hens and roosters as reference. I'm no chicken expert, but I hope I got it right!

I happen to have an Australorp as alpha hen. She even grew spurs and tried to crow a time or two, but lays an egg almost daily.
It's not uncommon for hens to have a majestic comb, but usually the wattles stay smaller.
Not bad, for a non-chicken person. If you like birds, check out Nambroth sometime, she's a very good bird artist.

We're both on a chicken website, that's how I found her in the first place

I've never painted a chicken, they just wont hold still (Ok, kidding) Honestly, you'd think I'd draw more birds, I have 13 hens, 4 ducks and 15 chicks... but I dunno, I seem to like drawing cat people.
