Membership Upgrades / Premium Feather Membership:
Over the years we've received requests from our chicken forum members that would like do have the ability to turn off all advertising, receive other upgrades / features, and generally support the BYC community. In response to these requests, we've created the Premium Feather Membership (PFM).


Here is a comparison of the membership types and benefits:
