2023 Hatching Fowl Photo Contest.png


Welcome to the Hatching Fowl Photo Contest. The stressful time of watching your baby fowl grow in the egg is now over, and hatching can begin. So get your cameras out because this contest is for photos of chicks, ducks, emus, quail, or any other domestic fowl hatching. At least one of the birds must be still partially in the eggshell (see pics of past winners below for examples).

If entries warrant, we will have two categories, landfowl & waterfowl, with prizes for both categories.

Prizes - Three 3-month PFMs

It's easy to enter, reply to this thread & attach (upload) your domestic fowl hatching photos!

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

Rules:
  1. Four entries per member. One entry per post, please.
  2. An entry is *one* photo of your domestic hatching fowl.
  3. At least one of the hatchlings must be partially in the eggshell.
