One of the most asked questions is "what is this chick?"
If there was a place (like the Breed section) that we could post pictures of as many different breeds of chicks from day old up to full grown (pullets and roos) so people could go there and see which picture looks like what they have - I, personally, would be eternally grateful.
My suggestion would be to post a picture of each breed at one day, one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, then maybe skip to six weeks, then eight weeks, then skip to 12 weeks, etc.
Be consistent with the pictures - meaning that each breed should have a picture at the same ages so we can really compare to what we have.
I know that this would be a lot of work and we'd really need BYC'ers help sending in correct pictures stating Breed, age, sex (when known - edited later when it's for sure) and color.
I'm right now taking pictures of the new chicks that I have so I could cover several different breeds.
Is this doable? Does anyone else care? Should I go stand in the corner?
