Open Contest 2026 BYC Calendar Photo Contest - We Need Your Pictures!

[SkyAJK]

I already had 2 entries, I am trying to enter 2 more, but my flock just not doing it...whenever I have the phone near them, they disperse. I will get some food to bribe them.

Muffin looks exceptionally stand out - she has the X factor!
Might be send all of these photos in and the Judge will pick one they like best.

I saw her entry, I laughed and love it at the same time.

Do you have a camera where you can zoom in from a farther distance? That helps when your flock is camera shy.
I will note, most phone and digital cameras don't do well the more you zoom. Not only does it take down the quality, but the focus isn't as good and for this contest (and basically any other contest), you want your focus the best it could possibly be. (For a good example, think so clear that it's like the chicken is standing right in front of you.)
A lot of your cameras that have the detachable lens do well even on zoom because they're created to do that. One of my lens is a 75-300 mm, so even at full zoom (if I can hold the camera still) I still get a good picture far away from the chicken I'm taking a picture of.

I do have a digital camera that I have not use for many years. I will give that one a go today.
