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

This is what's in the spreadsheet:

Thanks for the reminder. Here's entry 3

Llandeilo, pullet, mixed breed, out foraging in the late afternoon

She's pretty!

and here's entry 4

Killay, 2, looks like a Kraienkoppe, watching out while the girls forage

He's stunning!

I think this is my last entry, I may have went over. Lol

Very pretty.

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.

It can be cropped, so it qualifies!

Piper (buff Orpington) and Lorpy (astralorp) chicks

Cute chicks!

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.View attachment 3843132

No, I moved it from the Black & White Other Fowl Photography Contest.
