Do you currently have market-ready broilers? I need your help getting pictures ASAP!

[poultryprofessor]

I am putting together our FFA poultry judging contest and I need pictures of broilers (and White Leghorn hens) for students to evaluate. Unfortunately, I don't currently have any broilers and I haven't been able to find any near me. But I don't need the birds, I just need pictures, so I'm hoping you lovely BackyardChicken members can help.

Do you have broilers and a camera (even a phone camera should work)? Do you have a few minutes to take pictures you can send me? If so, please let me know ASAP!

What kind of pictures? The pictures need to show the general condition of each bird. Their size, breast width, body depth, etc. For an idea, see pages 7 and 8 on this pdf (https://lacrosse.extension.wisc.edu/files/2019/07/Raising-Roasters-and-Broilers.pdf).

I also need pictures of White Leghorns if someone has those. Those pictures would need to include the following (https://national4hpoultry.ca.uky.edu/files/pjmanual-pastproductionhens.pdf).

Maybe @Tre3hugger would let you use some of the pictures of his lovely birds from this article?

Yes no problem @poultryprofessor if you want to use any of those feel free. Also this thread has some good ones. https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ies-just-arrived-26-cornish-x.1393220/page-10

This may be the very best one. 8 weeks old. 2 roos 2 hens.

If any of my pics make it into a publication, please share said publication on this site and tag me!

Thanks for the tag! I have loads! Unfortunately, I'm not sure how good of nice, full body shots they are.....

She's a bit scruffly because instead of molting like normal chickens, they've decided to do it throughout the whole winter.

Not quite clear on the instructions, but she lays every day if you need to know that.

Also in these pics- her feet are a bit pink. That is because she had been walking around in the snow at the time they were taken, not because she has the wrong skin color.
