Baby Chick Photo Shoot



Remember the controversy dress picture a few weeks ago?  Is it blue or gold?

At our recent Chick Photo Shoot at LL Farm, we had our own controversy.

Take a look...


Although a beautiful yellow ball of fluff right now, this beauty will grow into a WHITE rock chicken. 

Will she need to go to the hair salon for this change?

Not concerned about her color, she loved posing for the camera.  Just look at that pose!  



This chick with colors of black, white, and grey will grow into a silver laced chicken.

Her feathers will grow into a beautiful lace looking ball gown, crowning her a Princess name of course.

Although royalty, she enjoyed striking a few poses for the camera.



Marked with many colors, this chicken will remain similar in her looks.  

What she lacks in outward beauty, she more than makes up for with inward beauty...
she will lay BLUE eggs.

She is an Ameraucana , with such a sweet disposition, patiently posing.


Some more cute chick photos:


















I hope you have enjoyed the Baby Chick Photo Shoot.

I had such fun taking these pictures (maybe too much) that I am thinking of making large prints or having them made into canvas prints.

I think they will make beautiful wall art in our home! (smile)

    Hi Lori, these are absolutely adorable. What a cute idea. I especially like the one in the teacup. You should offer prints of these on your blog. They really look professional. I hope your Monday is off to a great start. Hugs, Pat

      Thanks Pat. Your kind words mean a lot to me. The chicks were just a couple days old, so it was fairly easy to capture their sweetness. I am by no means a professional photographer...

    The girls and I couldn't help but giggle at the chicks driving the car! Oh my word the cuteness! Agreed it does make Monday much sweeter! Thank you for sharing LL! Oh, and the blue laced chick in the first photo, you can tell she knows she's cute! Can't wait to see what she looks like when she's all grown! ~CB

    Wonderfully inspiring! I take (try) to take a lot of chicken photographs (as well as our Lab Sassy) am I know first hand how difficult it is to get a good image of a moving object. These are outstanding, in my book. I get some new chicks on April 20 and you have inspired me to try to take few pictures of my Rhode Island Red babies. I am assuming you fed them so they were full and comfortable and then posed them? I can't believe how still they stood for you!

      Donna,
      The chicks were only a few days old when I took the photos, so it was fairly easy to get them to pose (one more than the others). I took quite a few shots, then went through them on my computer, choosing the best ones. Have fun with your chicks when you get them ;-)

      Thaank you for your reply. Would you mind sharing more or maybe even creating a post about how you photographed your chicks in the setting? I'm interested in your camera, lens, setting, flash no flash (I'm assuming no flash since there are no shadows) whether you uses a bounce light or natural lighting, And you blue cabinet in the shoot I am assuming it is a chalk painted piece....PLEASE share and thank you in advance!! I use a digital Cannon Rebel and have a wide angle and a telephoto lens. Donna at the Small House Homestead
