This new feature is brought to you by the BYC Sponsors:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/LC-supplies.html

After seeing the HUGE success of our new Chicken Breeds Database we decided to get working on a similar system for all the other fowl & poultry so often discussed on BYC including ducks, geese, turkeys, quail, etc.

This new system is ready for you to use right now. We only have a couple breed page submissions right now but we expect that this will be a huge success like the other projects where we all work together as a team to create something amazing!

Here are the important pages:

Main Poultry Breeds Index
Submit A Poultry Breeds Page

We're looking for amazing members to help on this project, so please send me a PM if you are interested in helping.

We'll be having contests for the best page submissions and will be awarding things like free Golden Feather Memberships and BYC Store Gift Certificates.

A few notes:
1) The chicken breed submissions / system will continue to be separate and can be found here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/
2)
There will not be "sub" or "simple" pages for this system.


Remember, this is a new system so bugs are to be expected. If you run into any problems PLEASE record any error messages and reply with your browser and version and exactly what happened along with any error messages.

If you have any questions or ideas regarding this project, please post them here.





--------UPDATE--------
To promote this new system we're going to throw in some incentives!

If you submit a very good breed page (with great pictures, information, etc.) you can earn a free GFM for you or a friend, or save them up and get a $20 gift card for the BYC Store!

Rules:

1) If a BYC page is already created for the breed you need to select a different breed
2) Your must have rights to the content! The information and pictures you submit must NOT be copyright protected (you can't just copy from the web without written permission from the content owner).

If you page passes our project managers' inspection you'll be awarded the following:

• 3 Month GFM for each APPROVED submission (GFM can be gifted)
or
• Combine 5 APPROVED Submissions and trade them for a $20 BYC Store Gift Certificate
--------------------------
 
Just two notes!
1. Please use all your own words when creating the page
2. Please use your own pictures, if you can't, you have to get permission from the owner of the picture

Have fun!

This is so exciting!

I would like to thank all the members that helped me come up with questions and provided advice. Mrs. A-K- Bird-Brain, JJMR794, swheat, bargain, barred rocks rock, call ducks, Settler'sDreamFarm, and many others! I really appreciated all the help.

Here is a sample of questions that will help make your page very informative. We would really appreciate it if you can answer as many of these questions as possible.
Ducks.
Geese.
Quail.
Turkeys.
Note: To avoid confusion those forms do not put information into the breeds database. They just have questions that would be good things to answer on your page.
Thanks!

I have a question.

Could I do half of the breed page today, and then finish the other half later on tonight, or is there no edit option/option to add more pictures after its submitted. I would like to do the Call Ducks page.
