We're about five weeks away from starting the 2025 calendar contest.

Are you as excited as I am?

Yes! I am super excited!

I'm creating the 2025 calendar thread. Any suggestions for improvement?

I would like a digital calender as screensaver on my laptop. And a poultry calender once instead of a 100% chicken calender would be nice too.

We could look into that.

I've thought about this.. What sort of layout would you like to see? Like how many roosters, chicks, hens, ducks, geese peafowl, etc.

Maybe as different from month to month as possible? Depending on what people enter in the contest. Good pictures is more important than diversity. And no snow pictures in summer (sorry Aussies)
You could try to get these included (e.g. );

1. rooster
2. hen(s)
3. chicks
4. duck(s)
5. ducklings
6. geese
7. peafowl or peacock
8. guinea fowl
9. quail
10. pheasant(s)
11. turkey(s)
12. pigeons

Good pictures are important.

Seasonal pictures are a bonus! I wish more people would enter them.

1. rooster
2. hen(s)
3. chicks

We would get enough of these.

1. geese
2. peafowl or peacock
3. guinea fowl
4. quail
5. pheasant(s)
6. turkey(s)
7. pigeons

Getting enough of those would be a problem. We did a "virtual other fowl calendar" and only got 64 entries. Then when we asked people to submit their pictures, we did not get enough to make a calendar.

Maybe it can work if you don’t mind if you get 8 months with chickens, quail and ducks and only 4 with special poultry like peacocks, pheasants and pigeons. If you think its worth a try, I am in.

Just for fun. 2 wild geese courting in my neighbourhood.

For 2025, I think it's best to stick with chickens. We can try doing another virtual "other fowl" contest, and if we get enough entries and interest, maybe we could send it to print.

The 2025 calendar contest is starting in a couple of weeks!
