- Barred Chicken in Winter c. 1922
- Description
- The archive preserves a vivid snapshot of the agricultural pride that defined Hampton Brook Farm in the 1920s. Through the striking, patterned plumage of a Barred Rock rooster and the elegant purple satin of a "Champion Male" ribbon, we see the dual nature of the Haushalter family's success: the tangible quality of their livestock and the formal recognition they earned within the regional poultry community. Whether this specific bird was the one that carried the Flower City Poultry & Pigeon Association award or simply a representative of the high standard maintained on the farm, the items together tell a story of excellence. They capture a moment when the rhythms of the 50-acre farm were measured not just by seasonal harvests, but by the prestige of the prize ribbon and the meticulous stewardship of the land and its creatures.
