Chickens are not only dietary meat, but also luxurious plumage. Owners of birds even organize beauty contests, revealing the most beautiful bird, in the opinion of the jury. The most popular contestants were photographed by Ernest Goh.

The photographs show Serama chickens and roosters with a bushy tail, thick feathers and long legs. By the way, this breed is not bred for meat or eggs, but solely for the sake of visual appeal. Moreover, the birds are distinguished by an interesting feature: the ability to make "faces" in the camera. You can verify this by flipping through Ernest Goh's Cocks: The Chicken Book, dedicated to chicken beauty contests.

By the way, the Serama breed wouldn't exist if it weren't for Wee Yean Een from Kelantan. It was he who artificially bred the miracle chickens in 1990. And although the stock of purebred chickens suffered greatly from the avian flu that broke out in 2004, today Serama is considered one of the most sought-after poultry in the United States and Europe.

I must admit that the chicken theme is not only for connoisseurs of beauty. Many are worried about the solution to the eternal dispute about the egg and the chicken, which is very vividly presented in the installation of Kyle Bean. He tried to make a sculpture of a chicken out of an eggshell, hinting that the egg was the first. Although, critics more support the work of Igor Rud, who turns chicken eggs into a real work of art, decorating the shell with artistic carvings.
