If anybody has any pictures of Standard Faverolle eggs that I can use for the page that would be great. My girls have stopped laying and I dont have any pictures of their eggs. Or if you have any nice pictures of a Standard Faverolle roosters. Thanks.

JimnJay has some really nice Faverolle rooster pictures, and check with her on pictures of eggs. She has offered to help with this breed!

I PM'd her.

ETA: I started working on the page. I did add some pictures, but those arent the best so hopefully I can take some more pictures, and hopefully I can get some better pictures from her.

I've got good news:

Cody, you (or anybody else) don't have to own the birds to create a page!

For example, I don't have any Welsummers, but I sure know a lot of forum members that do and I could ask them for information, pictures, etc.

Don't just copy text from other websites, but you can research information and compile the data / facts into your own history and information for the page.

From what I've read, copyright law does not protect facts, but it does protect the way facts and ideas are expressed and organized. You can use facts reported on articles or websites, but just not the way they are presented.

So, if you're dying to create other pages, do some research, ask for permisson from BYC members to use their photos for the BYC page, and get going!!

I think that this project is great. However, I was just looking through some of the breeds I do and noticed a number of errors. I think that you need a couple of editors who are APA judges, or the like.

Agreed! This is a work in progress and we wanted to get information up and going as quickly as possible.

As people notice any problems, copyrighted material, or incorrect information, please let either allaboutdemchicks or Msbear know!

If there are any volunteer APA judges that want to help them out, I'm sure they would LOVE to accept the offers!

Is there a way to edit the Simple Breed Pages. I just made one for Light Brahmas, and was going to go back and add some more pictures, but there is no edit button like the Main Breed Pages?

Also, under the gender in simple breed pages, it just says male or female. Is there a way to add an unknown "button", for chicks.
