There's a way to get a database to help, it -would- be a form letter but a well worded form letter is very deceptive...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Breeders of (breed) form (state fact) (state).
I'm taking this opportunity to tell you all about (the project).
If you are willing to help please (take action).

And I am send you best wishes at the (up comming show/ swap).

Be sure to were your tee shirts from BYC, (link to BYC store tee shirts).

Thank you so much for not only helping propagate these (fact about breed/opinion about breed) chickens, but informing others to what they should be.

(whole unique sentence goes here)

Thanks again,
Project Manager
(BYC name, and or real name)

I just looked at this wonderful list of chicken breeds and noticed that there wasnt anything on Sexlinks. Is the chart just for purebred breeds or for all breeds? My page is about Sexlinks and the knowledge I've collected about them from a year of raising and breeding them. If you'd like, you can add it to the chart, but if you dont thts good, too! Thanks!

the problem is there's about 10^3 ways to make sex links and each cross would have a diffrent chick apperence and growth rate.

This is great.. it looks like there are several people who will be working on this.

My hubby just had emergency surgery again yesterday so I'm not going to be any help here for some time.

If there are any specific questions that I might be able to help with PM as I get a notification of that on my e-mail and can respond. I may not be back here for a while otherwise.

Have fun... it is a great project. I can't wait to see it finished!

I am so glad there is interest in doing this! What DuckLover179 and I are doing is using the BYC breed index chart as a start, we have split it up - I've the 1st 10 on the list and she the 2nd 10. We are badgering (I mean asking politely) in differnt areas of the site and PM'ing some folk directly. If you would like to help, let one of us know what breed you are working on. This is a sample of what I've been sending members:

" Some of us here at BYC are trying to resurect a previous project to create a chart showing examples of each breed at various stages of growth. Ideally we would have pictures of both male and female at each stage as well as of each color variety. Would you be willing to assist us with photos of the birds you breed?Here is what we are looking for:

You can PM me your photos or use the "simple breed page" https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/submit2.php
to upload photos on your own. "

that is how happy I am
