Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[hdowden]

Mahonri,
I would like to sponsor a contest. It would be good to start preparing now, I think. My goal is to make a chicken themed calendar. I want it to be holiday themed, as well. So, my contest is for calendar quality pictures of holiday (month related) chicken pictures. Prize will be........ oh, I will wait on that decision.

Limit of 3 entries per person, and they must PM them to me as well as post them in this thread (so I don't miss any). I also request permission to use their photo in a calendar printing.

Here are some samples submitted from the last hatchathon....

Holiday calendar contest

i want to do this one

i'm sure i can get some good easter pics as long as my eggs i set hatch out, or i can take some now with a fall scene or even a rainy day scene with some chicks (man has it been raining here the past few days cant get any nice pics of my d'uccles the rain/mud has destroyed their foot feathers ) also do they have to be chick pics?

I think any poultry would be good. I hope to get both grown birds as well as new chicks. Seems like we usually get chick pictures.

Mahonri's 3rd Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long Contests​

1. Best Hatch Rate
For this contest during this hatch, participants will need to be setting a minimum of 24 eggs, with confirmation picture posted to this thread on set day. These can be under a couple of broodies or in your incubators. Tell us how many you will have cooking and then don't go back and edit your post where you tell us how many eggs you start with. We'll need that info by Monday the 19th of March at latest to be included in the contest. When the hatch is over, you'll take a pic and post it to show us how many you actually got...the picture must be of sufficient quality to count all the chicks.
In the event of a tie, the one who hatches the most chicks wins.

2. Cutest Chick Picture
For this contest, the chick hatched must be from Mahonri's 3rd Annual BYC Easter Hatch. The picture will need to be taken and posted by or before 11:59PM on April 15th, 2012... We'll be asking folks in the hatch as well as some moderators to help judge if they are willing. There will be 1st and 2nd place awards given.

3. Best Overall Hatch Participant
At the end of the hatch, PM your choice for best hatch participant to Mahonri. This should be someone who you thought was supportive, helpful, funny, encouraging... The person with the most votes wins! Votes will start on April 10th and end on April 12th, 2012.

4. How Many Chicks Will Mahonri Hatch?
Your guess needs to be made before 11:59:59PM on March 24th, 2012. The guesses will be posted above somewhere beside the hatch participant's name.
In order to help break a tie, You'll need to guess the breeds of the first three chicks out. If you want to know what breeds are in Mahonri's bators read the thread!
Laree will be putting up a spreadsheet for the # of guesses and the first three breeds.

Also, for best hatch rate, we need to also add that on the day you set, we need a pic of all of the eggs in your bators.
Then when you are done we need a pic of all of the chicks hatched ... so we can count them!! The prize for his could be big so we need to be able to verify!! LOL

Also in case of a tie... (Same PERCENTAGE HATCHED)... yeah, then the one who hatches the most wins.
