BYC is a fantastic place for chicken enthusiasts all over the world to get together to chat chicken by simply turning on their computers.
But every once in a while we want to meet our fellow BYC addicts for face to face discussions where we can have a fun time and make new friends. It is for this reason that our members setup local Chickenstocks all over the world.
Chickenstock was started by BYC as a way for members to meet each other. It has grown to global proportions and there are gatherings all over the US and a couple overseas. It was even featured in the Tractor Supply magazine, and some have had newspaper coverage.
We've had some VERY amazing Chickenstocks over the years that were organized by even more amazing BYC members! They have some amazing ideas and suggestions for organizing and running these events, so I've started this thread to get ideas and feedback in one place.
If you have ideas and suggestions on How To Organize A BYC Chickenstock please post them here! Please don't use this thread for chatter so we can keep this thread as concise and helpful as possible.
The purposes of this Chickenstock section of BYC are:
(a) to post information about, plans for and results of Chickenstocks,
(b) to post information about, plans for and results from poultry shows, and
(c) to post information about, plans for and results of swap meets held face-to-face outside of BYC.
The BYC Staff would like to remind everyone that sales, swaps, trades and other online transactions of animals and other property in this area of the forum will be closed and/or deleted. Online transactions, including want ads, should be posted in the correct area of the Buy ~ Sell ~ Auction section of the forum.
If you are unsure if a topic fits in this area, feel free to PM a Staff member to ask first. We want to keep all online transactions in the Buy ~ Sell ~ Auction area of the forum to allow our members access to the buyer and seller feedback tools. This should result in a safer, more organized online sales experience for all of our members.
We do not allow the sale of raffle tickets on BYC. This is due to gambling laws that vary from state to state as well as over state lines. We also don't allow the solicitation of monetary donations.
Also, if you've had a successful Chickenstock please reply to this thread with the date and a link to a post with a summary and pictures of the event including:
1) The date - location of the Chickenstock
2) A direct link to the first post in the thread with pictures
For example: 2009/08/01 - CA Bay Area Chickenstock
