The Payoff
Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 27 August 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
This is an obvious payoff for keeping chickens. However, there must be more to it than that. If I do this next year, I'll ask the people why they keep chickens. What's the psychological reward?
Having grown up on a farm, I can't imagine why city folk would keep chickens. Well, unless they like green eggs and ham.

Great shot.
Maybe the chicken owners are don't like having to walk to the shop. :-)
Cheers,
Glen.

you solved the problem of chicken and eggs ;-)
This is a nice view, very dynamic way of capturing them

Very beautiful and inviting. After seeing the fine chickens, I'd almost hate to eat the eggs!

A nice close up of the eggs. Really fresh eggs are difficult to find in the average grocery store. I especially like your green eggs comment! :-)

I've enjoyed this series, city boy that I am. These eggs are like bio-jewels in the basket.

Comparing farm fresh eggs to those in an urban store - it seems the eggs would be their own reward - green or otherwise. And thanks for getting back to me yesterday. I love the Burnside section of Portland, Oregon. You could spend the rest of your life in SE Portland and never be wanting for things to capture.

As pets? I love my eggs where ever they come from - and I like them sunny side up. This is nice, real and warm, Steve.

Green eggs for sure, but I'll pass on the ham. Nice shot. So, why are the eggs a greenish colour?

Beautiful perspective of eggs... I had never seen green hen's eggs.
