The Cluck 'n Quack: Stories of our birds

[NC_Quail]

The reason I brought up Macaulay is this:
I was looking through some chicken breed photos in the handy lil search feature that BYC has. However, I was disappointed because many breeds came up that I didn’t even search for or were just related to the breed I looked up. Here’s an example:

I’m not looking for Light Brahmas or Dark Brahmas or Brahma mixes or birds mis-identified as Brahmas or Birds accidentally tagged as Brahmas, I am looking for BUFF BRAHMAS.

That’s when I got my Idea.
Why not make a database of photos for poultry breeds like The Macaulay Library has for wild birds? I think that would be really fantastic, especially if some things similar to Macaulay could be implemented, like the rating system or reporting mis-identifications.

I wonder if anybody else thinks this would be an awesome idea? Tell me if you do!

That is an awesome idea, would it be possible to turn it into a school project? (I can’t remember wether you are homeschooled or regular schooled but creating your own website looks pretty good on a resume).
@The-White-Elephant is the computer expert, Maybe he can help.
I will warn you, it sounds like a lot of work, but it is a great idea!

Oh, I know! I really don’t know how I’d do something like that myself, but I could try! It would be a MASSIVE project, but yeah, maybe Whitey could help me!

you could also suggest your idea to some of the BYC staff/Nifty Chicken To see if they have any advice since they made BYC

That was my original plan. I didn’t even consider doing this myself!

Should I tag them here, or should I write up a lengthy PM explaining all this and asking their opinion? Also who exactly should I tag?

it sounds like you’ve got everything planned out pretty well, good luck with your project! My dad has some experience with building websites too if you need me to ask him some questions.

Will it be just chickens?

That is a good question…I’m not exactly sure who to tag. I would probably go with a PM though. Nifty Chicken, Caport Pony, maybe 21 Hens in CHarge?

No way! Ducks, Turkeys, Guineas, just all poultry!

Also maybe Kiki and Ducklady…
