I'm excited to write an article for the contest. I've already started an outline.

You encouraged including pictures (often VERY useful, I agree), but here's my question: What about video? I think it would be fun to illustrate elements of my article with either a short (<1 minute) video or even embed a few videos of just a few seconds each. And if videos wouldn't work, what about embedding short GIFs?

That is a good article. I think you need to post it on BYC on the articles section so it counts for the contest. Do you have any pictures of your hen's foot (or goats or ??) that you can add to it?

A short video added to your article sounds good to me

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.
