This drawing of a "Brown Leghorn" shows the beauty of the rooster. He always stands watch over his flock and warns them of danger when a predator is near. This breed of chicken originated in Tuscany, Italy, and the females are very good white egg producers.
It takes about 50,000 strokes of the pen and about 50 hours of time to complete a drawing such as this. Prints of these are available from McCoy Farm and Folk Art for $40.00.
