Thread 1/n: Even though the world is topsy-turvy, the annual rare breed chicken show happened in #Hobart today - I am your willing correspondent

2/n - Meet the rose comb- he’s got a mess going on upstairs and he’s not sorry about it

3/n - the silver spangled Hamburg is a stunner with a blue beak and legs to boot - shame about their warty comb but I guess u can’t have it all

4/n - I already posted a rose comb but this guy was so dangly he’s blurry so he gets a toot

5/n - this blue Andalusian is a good looking Chook and won my prize for best earlobes in show

6/n - my personal favourite and winner of the best #quoll costume is the Ancona - flighty as hell but what a Chook

7/n - this bruiser is an Australian pit game and I learned that they establish their hierarchy by murdering any chook they meet, making the survivor both the strongest and loneliest Chook

8/n - this velociraptor is what a lady pit game Chook looks like and with stems like that you can tell she’s ready to fuck shit up

9/n - This partridge bantam Wyandotte shows that when u gotta go u gotta go

10/n - I’m not a huge fan of those island reds but they do do earth tones well

11/n - another pit game rooster ready to throw down

12/n - the Belgian D’uccle should really have removed one accessory before leaving the house

13/n - golden sebright bantams are a breed unashamed that they serve no practical purpose beyond beauty

14/n - Sebrights are also odd because the roosters have female plumage (no tail sickles or neck and rump hackles). Plus look at that walnut comb

15/n - sebright bantams also come in silver, but all versions are impractical and glorious

16/n - I can’t recall the name of this breed but look at his magnificent earlobe

17/n - this game hen looks like an extra from the gallomimus scene in Jurassic park

18/n - the Phoenix has incredibly long tail feathers which I think would be more impressive when not being trampled on in a show cage

19/n - I know I already covered the Andalusian but look at this guy he’s glorious

20/n - I don’t know what this Chook is but she won best stink eye of the show

21/n - Plymouth Rock chooks are just enormous and their stripes are only accentuated by their sleepy looking faces

22/n - this is a silky chicken but I genuinely dunno if it’s a hen or rooster because it’s literally all just #floof - fun fact is that unlike other chooks silkies have 5 toes and black flesh and skin

23/n - this brown leghorn melted

24/n - the araucana is a great but odd looking Chook - blue eggs, beards, sideburns and a little crest to round it out. Sometimes they have no tail as well!

25/25 - this Favorelle says thanks for coming to the chicken show with me
