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

The queens of the coop are taking the stage!

This is your chance to showcase your APA/ABA-recognized large fowl hens in all their glorious feathered finery.

Whether she’s a stately Sussex or a majestic Plymouth Rock, we want to see her grace, poise, and personality shine.

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!
