Artist Lynn Rattray is so captivated by the chickens in Tampa’s Ybor City neighborhood that she had an art show titled “Chicken Dance … Ybor Style” that included dozens of portraits, each labeled with thel bird’s name. She told patrons how to identify each one based on feather pattern and personality. She donated part of the sales to the Ybor Chickens Society. Visit her website at www.lynnrattray.com.
