Is there any news on if there will be another other poultry calendar, or am I jumping the gun asking?

If you're meaning for 2017, I'd say it's highly likely there will be another calendar in addition to the chicken only calendar.

According to Wikipedia, poultry is defined as "Poultry are domesticated birds kept by humans for the eggs they produce, their meat, their feathers, or sometimes as pets." Up to the rule makers of course but I'm guessing seagulls and pelicans would not be eligible.

Ok, thank you. I was just wondering because we went to the sea and saw some pretty birds!

Great news everyone, we got talked into having not one, but TWO BYC calendars this year! In addition to our regular chicken themed calendar we are also going to have an "Other Poultry Types" calendar for Ducks, Geese, Quail, Turkeys, etc. But, we need some photos!!
How to submit your pictures to this next year's calendar:

[COLOR=333333] 1) Find a HIGH RESOLUTION (at LEAST 3,000 pixels wide & 2,000 pixels tall) picture that is very clear, clean, and doesn't have people in it. 2) Reply and upload your picture to this thread. 3) No watermarks, text, etc. on the image 4) By submitting your pictures you agree that you are granting BYC license to edit and use the images in the calendar, promotions, and for other BYC purposes, etc. 5) Limit of [COLOR=FF0000]2 submissions per user[/COLOR], so choose your very best pictures!!

Remember, make sure you have a clear high resolution image (at LEAST 3,000 pixels wide and 2,000 pixels tall... but even higher resolution is better)! Our system will create a thumbnail of your image, but the full sized image is still maintained and kept on our system. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] Here is an image of our 2011 calendar pics:

Looking forward to your wonderful picture submissions!!!

A few notes:[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]

1. We've been known to send a free calendar to those who get their pics chosen...
   
2. Remember, [COLOR=FF0000]only 2 submissions per member[/COLOR], and make sure you upload VERY HIGH RESOLUTION images that we can use for print!
3. Regarding copyright & license: We are very sensitive and careful about respecting copyright of other peeps' work. We want to make sure we have your permission to use the photo for the calendar and for other BYC related uses. You retain ownership of your image and can continue to use it however you want. By submitting your pictures to this thread you are simply granting BYC license to use the images for BYC related purposes.

Regarding contest timing, judging, etc:

Here's how the judging process will probably work:

1. Our team will go through and filter out all the submissions that don't meet the requirements for the calendar (takes about two weeks after the deadline for submissions)
2. We'll gather all the links to the images together and we'll go through and rate the pictures (I'm guessing it will probably be around 100+ pictures and take a couple weeks)
3. Once all the pictures are rated, our team will review the top submissions and choose the 13+ images that will end up in the calendar. (about a week)
4. Then the images go into the design and printing process and head into our store (about 3-5 weeks)
5. We hope to have the calendars in our store by the end of October!

I went outside to my ducks pen and said "who wants to be a star?" And I guess Derpy wanted to

NorthFLChick is correct. Seagulls and pelicans wouldn't be considered for the "Other Poultry" calendar.
