13th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along
Hatching Chick Photo Contest
Welcome to the Hatching Chick Photo Contest. The stressful time spent watching your chicks grow in the egg is now over, and hatching can begin. So get your cameras out because this contest is for pictures 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 you'd like some tips on how to take better photos, take a look at these awesome threads:
- Photography Tips from BYC's jolenesdad

- The picture needs to have been taken by you.
