Official BYC 2021 Summer Fair
Standard-Bred Chicken Show​

Welcome to the Standard-Bred Chicken Show in the 2021 Annual BYC Summer Fair!

This division in the 2021 BYC Summer Fair is for chickens bred to the Standard of Perfection. We won't be placing birds into breed-specific categories due to judging constraints, but your entries WILL be judged according to the basic principles of the Standard; e.g. quality of feather, clarity of colour, balance of shape, correctness of comb, and how well they represent their breed. Before you enter, please ensure that your bird has been accepted by the APA or ABA and is of a discrete variety—not a mixed colour.

Enter this show by posting images in this thread. Clear, focused images with the bird in a good pose is best—we recommend at least one clear side profile, along with some closeups, such as the bird held with its wings spread or an image from the front to show leg stance. We ask that you limit the number of pictures per entry to five to make things easier on our judges.

The Standard-Bred Chicken Show is a judged photo contest.

Rules:

1. All entries must be submitted/posted to this thread.
2. 3 entries per member, an entry consisting of up to 5 pictures per post.
3. In your entry, please include the breed, color, & sex of your chicken.
4. You cannot use a photo that won an award in any other BYC sponsored contest.
5. The picture needs to have been taken by you.
6. No overly-edited images—basic editing such as cropping and other subtle changes are allowed.
7. No screenshots, watermarks, date stamps, text, etc. on the picture.
8. High-quality images are recommended.
9. ALL pictures MUST be uploaded to BYC and not hosted on other image sites, personal websites, etc.
10. This is a judged photo contest and the winners will be determined by a panel of judges.
11. Prizes are limited to one per person per contest.
12. All BYC rules apply: Terms of Service (Rules)
13. Entries will be accepted until June 30th at 11:59 pm Pacific Time.

Um do they have to be grown up?

Um do they have to be grown up?

Ideally, yes. You can't judge a bird to a standard unless it is fully developed.

I can really see the difference in size and amount of tail feathers, and overall confidence

Lovely! She's in great condition.

Thanks! I'm showing her this weekend. I'm glad breeding season didn't wreak her.
