Unofficial BYC Other Fowl Molt Contest​

Are Your Other Fowl Molting?
We Want Your Pics!

It's that time of year again where our birds start their metamorphosis into... well, okay, they don't turn into anything, but it sure is interesting to see them go through their molting process and leaving feathers all over the place!

For more information on your flock's annual molt, see here:

• What Happens When Chickens Molt?
• Chickens Losing Feathers? Managing Your Flock's Molt
• Molting- Your Flock's Seasonal Shedding
• DISCUSSION: For the new folks that haven't experienced a molt yet.

How to enter
The contest is simple, post pictures of your birds in the worst part of their molt. Once we're past the molting season our esteemed panel of judges will pick a loser... er... winner!

The rules are simple too:

1. Must be your other fowl (turkey, peafowl, duck, guinea fowl, quail, etc., anything but a chicken).
2. No picture limit, post as many pictures of your bird as you want.
3. If you have more than one bird to enter, do them in separate posts.
4. Must be your pictures.
5. ALL pictures MUST be uploaded to BYC and not hosted on other image sites, personal websites, etc.

Good luck to you and your ugly... er.. molting other fowl!
