New Tool - BYC "Other Poultry" Breeds Database

[Sweetfolly]

Well, I just submitted a page on Hookbills. I was waiting to see if someone else was going to do it, but...no one did, and Hookbills deserve a page!

P.S. Only the first approved page per breed gets a GFM...you can make one on the same breed someone else already did, but you won't receive a GFM for it.

You are gonna be the Hookbill guru! LOL, they certainly do deserve a page, don't they? They are highly underrated ducks. So, so sweet. I miss my girl that Holderread's gave me several years ago as a bonus duckling. I can't wait to keep them again when I have more room to add them back. If you want something interesting to put on the page, even Darwin mentioned the Hookbills back in the 1800's in his book on domesticated animals. I know it is online somewhere if you google it. I can't wait to read your page!

When I'm done with my page - who do I tell?

Thanks!

How do we see what pages are needed?

We need to re-double our efforts on this great project. We put a lot of resources into building the new system and were hoping for more submissions.

Anybody have ideas on how we can really get people to get these other species and breeds submitted?

Hello, Nifty,

I agree - we need more people to submit more breeds/species - there are only a few pages in the duck section, one in each turkey and geese, and two in quail.

Did you see my question on post #55?

Thanks!

One way is to make a thread in some of the 'other poultry' forums. I wouldn't have seen this if it hadn't been on top of my 'recent posts' list when I went to check MY posts.

ETA: I'm still wondering what pages need to be done

I might be able to suggest some knowledgeable people to complete some

Yes, I'm wondering who I'm supposed to notify so that it can be approved. I PM'd 1lpoock and houndit, but neither have gotten back to me yet.

I think the guys may be busy with school and such, so we will probably be looking for other volunteers to help get this project back on track.

If you're interested, send me a PM and your qualifications.
