There are five photos of chickens. Please "like" all of them.

Note: you need to login to Facebook then hover over the photo and in the bottom corner click “like”

Alternatively, if you click on a photo to make it full size and then at the top right there will also be a “like” link.

Please tell your friends. Would be something if a chicken won the prize this year.

Gaithersburg is a city of 60,000 people in Maryland close to Washington DC. Previous years the winning pet has always been a cat or dog. What if chicken won the contest this year?

Thank you

I liked the chicken photos. Chicken people unite! They were all cute chickens. Oh, that dog in the glasses will be some tough competition.

Wish I could help out but, not a facebook person - sorry.

Yes, chicken people unite! Competition is steep. City officials have all focused on voting for a particular dog because they just can't stand to see a chicken win the contest. Cathy Drzyzgula, one of the city council members, phoned me to say "chickens are not pets."

Please vote, we could really use your help. You can vote for all five chickens. Here's the link:

That's RUDE - "Chickens are not pets." Boo to Cathy!

The Light Brahma is doing pretty well in votes.

They all are so cute in the video. Caramel reminds me of my Buff Brahma who is one of my sweetest hens. I checked the number of likes on Facebook, and it looks like Caramel is gaining on the swimming dog photo.

If you want a some more people to see Caramel's photo and vote for the chickens, you could post her photo on our funny photo caption thread asking what Caramel thinks when someone says she is not a pet. Then post the link to facebook. It is one of the most popular threads because it is super funny: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/714104/what-is-this-chicken-thinking/37780#post_15676158

Wow, scratch'n'peck you are so clever!

That's the perfect thread and a grand idea.

Just put your advice into action:

Just a few more days and the pet contest will be over. Looks like a chicken won't even be in the top three.

Thanks to those who have voted. Please encourage friends to vote and make a final push. It's not over yet.

Have made a new web page about this:
