photographing with nikond40x


Huh! harini at last sempat habiskan masa lepak2 dengan ayam sambil bawa kamera. Dah lama tak pegang kemera sejak my canon prob. Harini kena warm-up sebab esok nak pergi amik gambar buaya ngan kelip2 plak. Cuma tolong2 comrades utk majalah posting mereka. Sebelah tu contoh pic yg diambil harini.
Berbaloi gak guna kamera digital SLR ni...atleast i can be a bit creative la. Walopun i just an amature dlm photographing ni...still, i can be proud of it. Other than that, my sister commented a lot about all my photos which i taken today...hahaha...slumber...ini je yang mampu. She's the one yang duk pushing me until this stage too.

Notes about the pic

Itu adalah single comb ORI kampung rooster. Si single comb ni dibeli tahun lepas kat pasar ayam Bahau dengan harga rm17 je...tokey tu sendri yg tolong pilihkan, dia kata ayam ni cantik kalo dijadikan bapak ayam.
Memang cantik pon kan.Dan dia sempat bagitau, Chinese suka ayam single comb. Sampai harini i still dunno why. Sejak dari haritu sampai harini banyak gakla anak2 dia yang ikut corak bulu dan bentuk badan dia ni. Not too big, nor too small. Juct nice la. Jenis daging pejal.

Introduction To Breed

a. Cross Breed
A cross-breed is a chicken which had parents of different breeds. These cannot be shown. When selling, they can be sold (if, say, the parents were turkens and silkies) as turken/silkie crosses
d

b. Mutts
A mutt is a chicken where one or more of the parents were cross-breeds or mutts themselves. These cannot be shown. They are often sold as 'barnyard selection' or mutts.

However, some people confuse these two words. When you buy or breed a cross-breed or mutt, you don't know what you are getting, and so can get some interesting looking birds.

c. Hybrids
Hybrids are chickens that are not real breeds. They have been developed to serve one of two purposes: either producing large amounts of meat or eggs. They are produced in boring colours (usually white for meat and brown for eggs) and often do not breed true (meaning that the offspring will not look the same as the parents) like standardised breeds.
