Questions: Does the article have to be chicken related?
Is judging partially based off of article ratings?

No, just poultry related is fine. So if you wanted to write an article about ducks, or pigeons, or quail, etc, those are all accepted.

We don't look at article ratings when we judge, but they can be a good way to get feedback on your article before you enter it! For example, if someone left a rating that said that the formatting of your article could use some work, or suggested adding more pictures, etc, taking those ideas into account and editing your article might make it better quality and get you a better score when judging happens.

Will non-poultry related articles be accepted? Possibly about a household pet?

? Anyone ?
@casportpony @Pyxis

Sorry, needs to be poultry-related, but maybe we can do a non-poultry article contest later this year.
