Official BYC 2023 Summer Fair
Other Poultry Show
Ends on August 20th, 2023
This show is for all domestic poultry (ducks, geese, peafowl, turkeys, quail, pigeons, pheasants, emus, etc.)other than chickens. As long as it's domestic poultry, and isn't a chicken, it is welcome here!
Since a lot of Other Poultry do not have Standards of Perfection, this contest will be judged based on the overall condition of the birds and the quality of the photos. Clear, focused, well-lit photos of a well-posed bird in good condition will score higher.
Though we will not be judging per the SOP of each breed/species, general disqualifications do still apply, such as clear evidence of disease, Angel Wing in ducks and geese, or pendulous crop in turkeys, etc.
Enter by posting images of your birds in this thread. Each entry should consist of 1-5 photos of your bird and one of the pictures should show the entire left or right side of the bird (head, beak, feet, toes, and tail).
The Other Poultry Show is a judged photo contest.
If entries warrant, we will split the contest into two categories - landfowl & waterfowl, with prizes for each category.
