The shape of this photo is kind of weird, so I’m not sure if it’ll qualify. My phone was horizontal when I took it, idk why it made it this weird square shape. Entry 1: Pepper being vigilant from her nice vantage point.

If you want to see the status of the entries, open the spreadsheet and look at columns L & M. Column L is qualified or disqualified. Column M will have the reason for the disqualification.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PfDPFFs55OzNLklVYPECZ17uuqc4LWx8f1AUjZ_v2OM/edit?usp=sharing

The most common reasons entries are disqualified are:

• The photo cannot be cropped. For examples, see post #2.
• The photo is too small. 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 has people in it.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi, on the spread sheet it says all my pictures were disqualified, but when I posted them you said the
White speckled hen next to a pen “or in a cage” as you put it was qualified, please explain why it didn’t

About the ?

@casportpony ,
FYI, Most of my hens are Dutch. Dutch is a breed of bantams that comes in many colours in my country.
I didn’t mention the chick Tintin is a bantam Sulmtaler and Janice being a bantam mix (Dutch x naine de Tournoise).

Post 8: #1 you can add for the chick: bantam Sulmtaler

Post 271:#2 Two Dutch bantams in different colours and a bantam crossbreed
In case you want to add the colours:
Ini mini = Dutch yellow duckwing
Kraai = Dutch spangle
Janice = Dutch yellow duckwing x naine de Tournoise.

Post 272: #3
Katrientje my Bantam Rhode Island Red,
Black and Pearl are both Black Dutch, Tintin is my bantam Sulmtaler chick.

Not an entry nor eligible for one as this photo is of chickens (gallus gallus domesticus) but I think it is relevant. Nike (not named after the shoe company, named after the victory goddess) and Nemesis(not a nemesis, named after nemesis the balance, revenge and retribution goddess),two very different sized chickens, enjoying treats on top of the coop.
