Welcome to the Hatching Fowl Photo Contest. The stressful time of watching your baby fowl grow in the egg is now over, and hatching can begin. So get your cameras out because this contest is for photos of chicks, ducks, emus, quail, or any other
domestic fowl hatching. At least one of the birds must be still partially in the eggshell (see pics of past winners below for examples).
If entries warrant, we will have two categories, landfowl & waterfowl, with prizes for both categories.
Prizes - Three 3-month PFMs
It's easy to enter, reply to this thread & attach (upload) your
domestic fowl hatching photos!
To increase your chances of winning, please read the rules before entering.
