People love photos of chickens: is it because they strut and pose like runway models? Or do their all too human expressions give us insight into our own humanity? Who knows. But everyone that sees Ernest Goh's stunning close-up photography of these birds can't get enough. Chickens resonate. And our previous chicken books, Extraordinary Chickens and Extra Extraordinary Chickens showed the world just how much. From the proud Serama of Malaysia, to the delightfully humorous Silkie, first described by Marco Polo, these portraits convey not only the beauty and diversity of these familiar creatures, but also offer us an insight into the personality of each bird -a quality that Singaporean photographer Ernest Goh has come to value: "The experience made me realize how our perception of animals could be changed by simply getting to know them as individuals." The sheer variety in size, plumage, and colouration of these chickens will surprise and change the way one thinks of this common bird.
