2023 Valentine's Day Contest Series
Some Poultry Are Red, Some Are Blue, But Let's Not Forget, They Can Be Barred Too!
Ends on February 19th, 2023​

Poultry come in a myriad of colors. For this Valentine's day contest, we're looking for poultry to pair with the "Some Poultry Are Red, Some Are Blue, But Let's Not Forget, They Can Be Barred Too!" rhyme. So grab your camera and show us your favorite Red, Blue, & Barred domestic poultry.

There will be at least three prizes, so share photos of your red, blue, or barred domestic poultry for a chance to win one of the prizes shown below. If entries warrant, we will split the contest into different categories, with prizes for each.

Prizes

First	$30 BYC Store Gift Certificate or a 6-month PFM ($35 value) for yourself or a friend.
Second	$15 BYC Store Gift Certificate or a 3-month PFM ($20 value) for yourself or a friend.
Third	1-month PFM, or a BYC 2023 Calendar, or a size medium "Chillin With My Peeps" Unisex Tee, in black or blue.

BYC Store Gift Certificates, t-shirts, & calendars are available to winners in the United States. If the winners are outside the United States, they will be awarded the PFM instead.

(Not an entry, old photo)

Chester, blue barred mix breed. I found Chester abandoned in a parking lot and he lived in my rooster-only flock. He was the friendliest rooster I’ve ever had, and he never showed a hint of human aggression. He loved being pet and going for long walks on the beach (literally, he walked on a leash). I miss him a lot.
