Here are the few images of the black hen known as "Orpington" taken in our backyard.
For these shots I used Nikon D810 combined with Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens. All Pictures are taken handheld and no flash was used.

The Orpington is a British breed of chicken. It was bred in the late nineteenth century by William Cook of Orpington, then in Kent in south-east England. It was intended to be a dual-purpose breed, to be reared both for eggs and for meat, but soon became exclusively a show bird. (Source: Wikipedia)
