Open Contest Mister BYC Beauty Pageant—Official 2025 BYC Mini-Contest

[Ponypoor]

Disqualified: Silkies are not real chickens!

What are they????

Also:

Mr W is a gold laced whatchamacallem

And Junior is a pretty red rooster child

 

[Ponypoor]

No, I meant pissed off. One of my males gets jealous when the girls come over to me a for a cuddle/scratch.

My boys get jealous and chase the girls away so they get the cuddles (Clyde is such a sweetie).

Mr P doesn’t care - he knows his girls love him best.

 

[Ponypoor]

• His name: Littleman
• His age: 4.5 months

Edit: hubby and I agreed he needs a top hat, bow tie, and a monocle

Yes, yes he does!

I have Lav Orpington hen and she is just a lovely girl, a real sweetie pie (other than her love of Mr P’s pin feathers - she vicious with those!), gosh I wish I had more of them!

This is a chicken club, not a collection of feather dusters.

I have two frizzle cochins named Swiffer and Duster . . . they look like feather dusters.

He's being sold to a neighbor. I've decided not to keep the bantams. They were an impulse buy from the $1 bins at TSC

I currently have two cuddly males, but the third is a PITA . . .he's on a very short list (of one).

They are feather dusters. They can be found at Walmart isle 14 beside the mops.

 

[Big-momma]

The quintessential white chicken!

He is good to his 10 hens but not so much towards me

This is a judged photo Contest.

Macho macho man. Is your guy a macho man? How about macho poultry? We are looking for the best and most handsome male birds of BYC. Is your rooster buff? Is your tom turkey sophisticated? 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.
