Although it was sad to come across this dead and damaged chicken in the street . . . it's not often most of us get the chance to examine a chicken's feet. Do take the opportunity to click to enlarge and to marvel.
Hello Susan. In a sense, it isn't a different kind of picture. I like to photograph what I see in the immediate surroundings - things which people wouldn't regularly pay much attention to . . . I thought a bit before posting this but I decided it 'fits' the criteria. Few would stop and look at a dead chicken and rarely would we get a chance to examine the amazingness of its feet. Also, I find it interesting that there are several families in my immediate area (which is very urban) that keep chickens and that is unusual in built-up areas of England. And, finally, I imagine it had been killed by a fox .. . . more 'natural history' backstory.
Incidentally, on the original 'Loose and Leafy' (the Dorset one) I posted about a dead goose I found on the beach. You may (or may not!) find it interesting.

It's a different picture, and I probably wouldn't hang this one, LOL, but it is interesting. I can imagine a chicken scratch would be no fun.
