APA/ABA Bantam Rooster Show
2025 BYC Summer Fair
Ends on August 24th, 2025
Get ready for some serious strut and swagger! Welcome to the APA/ABA Bantam Rooster Show, where our pint-sized gentlemen rule the roost in full feathered glory.

Whether he's a proud Old English Game, a puffed-up Polish, or a feisty Sebright, we want to see your tiny titan of the flock in action!
So fluff those saddle feathers, shine those wattles, and show off your rooster’s bantam bravado.
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!
