Rise and Shine!

The lady who bought my "Spring Chicken" collage piece asked me if I could do a companion for her. She raises chickens, so I asked her if she had a favourite rooster, and she sent me some great photos of this fellow. He is a "Lakenvelder" rooster, very handsome, and although the hens adored his fancy feathers and ruby comb and wattle, he wasn't up to snuff in the baby chick producing department!  He has gone to live at Circle R Ranch near London, Ontario where he will,  as my client says, " live a happy long life" Happy Retirement Mr. Rooster!
