Chicken Sexing Wiki (Development Stage) Volunteers Needed!

[TheAlrightyGina]

A little bit ago I set up a thread about continuing a project to create a resource that people could use to help them sex/learn to sex their birds. There was a fair amount of support in the poll so I've decided to move forward in trying to get this thing set up. (Link to that thread here)

Here's what I plan to do:

1.) Set up a wiki with private editing - done
2.) Find volunteers to manage each of the breed's pages
3.) Get the volunteers set up to edit and instruct them on how to set up/edit their pages

What I need from y'all
I need volunteers to manage breed pages. If you have a lot of experience sexing a particular breed and you know what to look for to help people via reference pictures I NEED YOU! Send me a message or reply to this post letting me know what breed(s) you'd like to be in charge of. Please tag other breed experts so that they'll have a chance to help out.

I also need clear pictures of birds of both sexes focusing on the parts of those birds that can be used for sexing, of any age. Please DO NOT provide pictures of birds whose sex is not confirmed. To be as useful as possible, this reference needs to be as accurate as possible, so please, no birds where the sex has just been guessed. Even if they were vent sexed at a hatchery, there can be mistakes, so wait to give us pictures until you are sure of the results. DNA sexed are OK.

Once I get some volunteers I will post instructions in this thread on how to access and edit the wiki. I will need to get you set up with the proper privileges however before you'll be able to edit! One thing you can do on your own is go ahead and register for an account on miraheze.org. Please use your BYC username so I don't get confused about who's doing what, lol.

@Rhodebar Lover is amazing at Brahmas!
I’ll be here if you offer a breed that others aren’t to well versed in. I’m not really excellent at a particular breed. Maybe Barnevelders? ... R/BSL’s are good! You don’t have to do much!

Thanks guys! We'll need people for as many breeds as we can get. I figure I'll take the first volunteer for each breed and if more come along that want to help with that particular breed, y'all can work together on it. Just to be clear, @Quaicken108 I'll put you down for Barnevelders and Sex Links (if anyone else comes along and wants one of those we can switch it up) and @Rhodebar Lover I'll put you down for Brahmas, cool?

Right now I'm working on getting a list of people to cover as many breeds as possible, so let me know what you'd be willing to work on and I'll put you down for it.
