APA/ABA Bantam Hen Show
2025 BYC Summer Fair
Ends on August 24th, 2025

Calling all bantam lovers — it’s time for the tiny queens of the coop to take center stage!

As part of the BYC 2025 Summer Fair, we’re thrilled to host our official APA/ABA Bantam Hen Show — where small size meets BIG personality!

Whether you're a seasoned showman or a backyard bantam fan, this is your chance to share the spotlight with your miniature masterpiece.

Ready, set, SNAP!

These entries will be judged according to the basic principles of the Standard of Perfection; e.g. quality of feather, clarity of colour, balance of shape, correctness of comb, and how well they represent their breed. Clear, focused, well-lit photos of a well-posed bird in good condition will score higher.

This is a judged photo contest.

Prizes - At least one 3-month PFM!
