Poultry Shaming Contest!
Official 2025 BYC Mini-Contest
Ends November 30th, 2025​

This is a RANDOM Winner Contest...
We will use a random number generator to select our winners for this Contest.

Are you a poultry owner with a troublemaker on your hands? Does your Chicken hen eat her eggs, is your Duck an escape artist, does your Goose scream or does your Turkey insist on straying where they shouldn't? You're not alone! Join our Poultry Shaming Contest and shame your feathered friend in a hilarious way for a chance to win!

It's simple enough to shame your poultry. It only takes a chicken, duck, turkey, peafowl, or quail. etc. that refuses to play by the rules. Let's see you shame your poultry for a chance to win a prize!

There will be at least three winners, and each will receive a copy of the beautiful BYC 2026 Calendar! If entries warrant, we will have two categories—landfowl & waterfowl—with prizes for both.

The calendar is available to winners who reside in the United States. Winners outside the United States will be awarded a 1-month PFM.​

To increase your chances of winning, please read the rules before entering.
