This is a judged photo Contest.
Do you own the most beautiful hen on BYC? Is she worthy of the title of Miss BYC? We want to see your beautiful hens in all their glory. No matter the breed, age, or species, we want to see your gorgeous girls. Make sure she's as pretty as she can be with all her feathers in their place, then grab your camera and show us her best glamour shot for a chance to win!
There will be at least three winners, and each will receive a copy of the beautiful BYC 2026 Calendar! If entries warrant, we will have two categories—landfowl & waterfowl—with prizes for both.
The
calendar is available to winners who reside in the United States. Winners outside the United States will be awarded a 1-month
PFM.

It's easy to enter, just reply to this thread with pictures of your gorgeous girls.
