From time to time we are able to partner with companies that are excited to get the word out to our community about their products and services. Sometimes these companies want to get extra exposure so they will ask that we put a "site skin" on BYC for a few days. We recognize that these significantly change the look of the site, but they get our visitor's attention, which is exactly what the sponsors are looking for, and since they usually only run for a day or two at a time, we feel our visitors will be able to handle the change for a short period of time.
We appreciate all our advertisers and their support of our community. BYC is a very large and busy site and running it as a free resource for
literally millions of people each month is very expensive. The sponsors of the site help us keep the lights on and the servers running.
We unfortunately don't have enough chicken related companies that are willing and able to run ads on our site, so when we get interest from large chicken related businesses, we try to do all we can to help them have a good experience. When companies like
TSC, Nutrena, and all those
mentioned here are excited to work with us we're very glad to have them and are thankful for their contributions and support of BYC.
Please take a moment to let
our sponsors know that you are grateful for their support in keeping BYC alive and free for you and the other millions of chicken enthusiasts around the world!
