Chickens are bewitching birds: lush plumage, gleaming
feathers, perfect thighs. But few meet the standard of
perfection of the American poultry show, the beauty pageant
of the barnyard and the true test of poultry pulchritude. In
The Fairest Fowl, photographer Tamara Staples celebrates the
champions of the chicken world at their best. Dozens of
stunning portraits capture the quirky personality and
undeniable grace of these noble birds as you've never seen
them before. Location photography of the shows, details of
the judging process, strategies from poultry farmers, and
profiles of each prize breed set the scene and offer insight
for the discerning chicken aficionado. And an appreciation
of Staples' photography by public radio's Ira Glass of This
American Life explores the finer points of chicken
portraiture. Finally, chickens receive the respect they're due.
