Arie recently won the pageant of his life. He was chosen by a group of 12 spunky hens to be their leader. The four unlucky contenders were Arie's hatch mates. Besides Arie's striking good looks he is courteous to his girls and has never attacked the human that brings their food.

Maybe your drake has that waddle that wows the hens. We want to see your gorgeous male birds. Any domestic species, any age. Is your bird worthy of the title of Mister BYC? Let's see those boys strutting their stuff 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.
