Mister BYC Beauty Pageant
Official 2025 BYC Mini-Contest
Ends November 30th, 2025
​

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.

Entry 1
Name: Uncle Dan
Age: 1.5 Yrs
Breed: Easter Egger
Color: Multi

Uncle Dan makes us laugh on a daily basis. He is absolutely beautiful and even has a full beard. But he freaks out right along with the hens at anything slightly alarming. He likes to dance for the hens, but usually ends up tripping on his own wings. He tries so hard to be macho, but ends up making a fool of himself. But we love him even more for it.
