High fashion meets the barnyard in this legendary, stunningly photographed celebration of the world's most glamorous, eccentric, and exotic poultry breeds.
Forget everything you think you know about the humble farmyard chicken. In this captivating visual feast, acclaimed photographer Stephen Green-Armytage uncovers a vibrant, surreal world of avian elegance, presenting these birds not as livestock, but as fine-art portrait subjects.
From the fluff-covered, cloud-like Silkies and the sleek, dramatic plumage of the Modern Game fowl to the gravity-defying crests of the Polish and the astonishing, multi-foot tails of the Onagadori, Extraordinary Chickens showcases more than 160 spectacular color photographs. Each breed is captured against studio backdrops that highlight their vivid colors, intricate patterns, and distinct, often hilarious personalities.
Equal parts striking coffee table centerpiece, design inspiration, and delightful humor gift, this classic volume is a joy for bird lovers, backyard chicken keepers, photography enthusiasts, and anyone with an eye for the beautifully bizarre.
Why this book is a classic:
- Studio-Quality Fine Art: High-end portraiture that elevates chickens into icons of style, texture, and color.
- The Ultimate Conversation Starter: A chic, playful addition to any living room, design studio, or modern farmhouse bookshelf.
- Essential for the Modern Homestead: A gorgeous point of inspiration for the global community of heirloom breed collectors and backyard coop enthusiasts.
Flamboyant, unlikely, extravagant birds depicted in studio portraits... The world of chickens is a world of wonders. (New York Times Book Review)
