That's one impressive chook. Maybe Mrs Leghorn is more appropriate. Looks like she's laid an egg or two. Nice to see the clusters around her.

Cheers Craig - haven't spent much time on this...just stacked and tweaked (quickly!) - not precious about it!!
Unsure sure re gender - I'm sure the Running Co#k would get this thread locked!!!:lol:
Cheers

Careful Doug, I know yer feeling a bit chirpy with this, but don't get too coc** err.. cheeky!

the only thing clearly discernable about this rooster is the 'parson's nose' and he's been plucked :P

Nice running chook Doug! I can never see the chook in it. Maybe a Steggles run over by a truck? :)
