•• BYC Personal Pages Contest - Chicken Breed Page Contest

Thread Starter 

This is the next contest where you create pages for the BYC site.   Very similar to the Coop Design Contest.

Here's what you do:

1)  Follow the instructions on this page to create a new Personal Page.
2)  Make sure you "add a new page" and name the title of the page after the breed of chicken you want to post about.
3)  Add pictures and information about the breed:  behavior, experiences, etc.

Once you are done with your page come back to this thread and add a link to your page for everyone to see!

Just like the coop contest we'll pick a winner and send out some prizes.  We'd like to eventually organize all your pages and add them to the BYC site here:

If you have any questions, post a reply here!  Oh...  and Have Fun!

Yes it sound like fun. Its a pity that ive given my silkies a haircut so they dont look as fuzzy on top as they should!!!
I guess i could put in a story of 16 y/o  Goldilocks, she deserves her own page!!especially if she makes it with guiness records.

So glad you like the idea!  I think it will be fun and helpful at the same time.

Look at the existing breed pages for examples:

Nifty, do you want more pages on existing birds (cochins, RIRs, etc.) OR do you want ALL NEW breeds that aren't listed yet?

I don't know how to post pics but I'll give it a shot. When does this have to be done?

Great question.  The answer is: Either and or!!!   We want them all!
