Entry #2 - Replacement
Alek the Speckled Sussex Rooster

Alek is a gentleman for his hens. If he finds a snack he calls them over to feed it to them. He keeps his hens safe and watches over them. He loves to hop up on my lap to stuff his head under my arm for snuggles.

Important - Please Read

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that all entries are entered into a spreadsheet as they are submitted and that you can check this spreadsheet to see if your entry qualifies.

Entries will be disqualified if:

• The photo cannot be cropped to 3000 x 2000. For more information about this, please see the Cropping Examples below.
• The photo is too small to judge. The photo you upload must be at LEAST 3,000 pixels wide by 2,000 pixels tall. If you aren't sure of your photo's size, use this: Imageonline.co.
• The photo is a screenshot. No screenshots allowed.
• The photo has text, watermarks, datestamps, etc., on them.
• The photo has people in it.
• The photo has been heavily edited. We want to see the world through your eyes, not through the excessive use of editing tools. However, basic cropping and poop removal is allowed.

In the comments section of the sheet, the reason for disqualification is listed.

If your entry has been disqualified, you may enter a replacement, just make a new post, and we will make a note in the spreadsheet.

If you submit four entries, and then find or take a better photo, you can replace one of the existing entries by posting the new photo and informing us of the replacement.
