We cannot host pictures from large commercial businesses like hatcheries or competing type websites like Feathersite or PoultryPages... even if you can find one without a watermark and even if you receive permission to use them.
This database is meant to be created by our members and will contain wonderful, personalized information because of that. The personal experience portions are sharing knowledge never before shared for some breeds. Our personal pictures aids in this as it gives breed searchers an insight to this breed that no other site can offer. Having infamous photos taken from sites that have them circulating the entire internet seriously detracts from that.
I understand some breeds are more rare and will be more difficult to obtain photos for.. that's one reason it helps to breed the chicken you are creating a page for.
What we can do is accept photos from small breeder websites and blog sites. These are not competitive sites and the photos will not be recognizable as owned by another site. And, at the same time, maybe we can make some new friends and invite these breeders and bloggers to join BYC and enjoy the breed they love and agreed to share with us.
