Ended Official BYC Article Writing Contest #8 - Write and Win!

[Chicken Girl1]

Hmm...I'm not great with topics, but I can list some (they might be bad). Also some of these might already be in the Learning Center, so if you do one you might just want to check.

~Dealing with aggressive chickens
~A guide to chicken foot splints (when to use them, how to use them, how to make them, etc.)
~When and what to feed chickens (I see a lot people wondering when you feed chicks Layer Feed)
~Clipping chickens wings
~Focus on a breed and write about it (ex. I did Buff Orpingtons)
~What to do with chickens who get excessively pecked (quarantine, no-peck paste, etc.)

Just a few ideas, I may be able to think of a few others and I'll try to write another article too.

Thanks!

By Full License, you mean BYC may print, reprint, or publish it at any time? But the author still retains ownership of the article?

That is a good question, @sumi ?

Ok here's my first article.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/...to-look-for-and-what-breeds-are-right-for-you

I was originally going to do just "Buying chickens- What to look for?" Then I added "what breeds are right for you", and I did that section first and realized it was really long, so I'm doing two articles and I'm working on the other one right now. Is there any way @sumi you could change the title too "Buying Chickens- What breeds are right for you?"? I can't figure out how too. :/

I have written and posted my 1st article.


I was reluctant to do so, because I might scare Blooie off from writing hers.

Here it is:

I hope it does not upset too many of you, when I was looking for a method this would have helped me a lot.

Wow! Both of those articles are amazing!
