How To Enter:

1. Pick a chicken related topic. We suggest writing an article that is not already covered in our Learning Center, but is a topic that would be a good addition to one of the sections in the Learning Center.
2. See here for article/member page/coop page writing tutorial: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/953810/coop-pages-and-member-pages-tutorial-and-feedback/0_30
3. Create a well worded & detailed title. Example: “How To Raise & Process Chickens for Meat - Tips & Pictures” is much better than: “Meat Chickens”
4. Write a unique high quality article with around 750 words (more is fine as long as it is good / helpful info). It must have at least one picture relative to the subject. Bonus points if you add more pics (pictures are usually worth 1,000 words, but in this contest they are worth about 10 - 50
   
   )
5. Post a reply to this thread with a link to your completed article(s) - A maximum of THREE article submissions per member will be allowed.

Rules:

1. All articles must be posted in the Member Pages section
2. All articles must be written by you and must be unique (do not copy from other sources)

@CherriesBrood and @Blooie I don't think there is a word limit

[CherriesBrood]

OH, oh. I'm in a world of trouble with both of mine, then! <sigh> I can't even say "yes" or "no" in 25 words or less.

What they threw in a limit too how many words we can write??? And now they tell us?

 

[Blooie]

Nope, we're good.....just a misunderstanding is all.
