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

Cheers!

Oh, and any existing "Other Poultry" pages that get approved will also be awarded.

I am going to do an Embden goose page once I download the pics from my camera to my laptop and then I will make it!!! And also, if I make one does that mean that I get a 3 month GFM???

If it is approved by the project managers and staff, yes you will get a 3 month G.F.M. For your page to be approved you need to have all the pictures, all the writing must be your own, no copying from other sites, and filled with lots of information about the breeds history, their development, their personality, their productive abilities, etc. Since you are the first Embden page you would get the G.F.M. Any following Emden pages would not be eligible for a prize, but are still allowed so people can see more pictures etc.

Ok! Thanks! But although I have to Embdens I don't think that I have enough history about them but that is okay! Thanks!

You could look up some information from places like feathersite, and books like Pocketful of Poultry and then put it in your own words. There are some breeds I would like to do even though I do not know much history. Remember, you can also edit them later as you learn more!
