Today’s sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is of a Turkish ornamental sultan rooster from the same farm as George the goose in Beysehir, Konya in Turkey.
Prized for its decorative plumage and puffy crests and long tails. They were kept by the Ottoman Sultans in the imperial gardens hence it’s name. It is the weirdest and most unusual looking chicken I have ever met.
I need to add the words ‘I AM NOT A FEATHER DUSTER’ so that there is no mistake.

My dad had a few chickens (many years ago) like the one in your sketch but their top knot was black mixed with white feathers.

How funny about the feather duster. A pretty bird kind of looks like the Polish chicken. http://www.mypetchicken.com/chicken-breeds/Polish-B91.aspx. Strange looking but pretty at the same time. 🙂
