"Maintenance Mode" allows us to do a full backup of BYC without having to worry about people posting, adding pics, etc., while we're doing a backup.
This ensures that the backup is clean and 100% up-to-date.
We do daily backups, but I like to make sure we have a perfectly good / updated backup...
I'll be updating this post / thread with any info regarding the BYC upgrade / update :)
Please keep this thread SPECIFICALLY to questions about the BYC Upgrade.
General chat can go into other areas of BYHerds, for example, this general BYC chat...
Wow, y'all got the jump on me.
I'll probably start a new thread and lock this one once things start up and we put BYC in Maint. Mode.
Hopefully it will just be for a very short time :)
We don't manually hold threads for review.

Great discussion! We're always wanting to make sure people feel welcome and also have motivation to keep active with our community!
Regarding the logo: we do have a logo... it's the name of the site with the images :) It may not be a "traditional" logo, but what is? I mean, Google's logo is...

It's a bit of a cat/mouse game with bad-actors on the internet. We try to stay a step ahead and keep them out while letting...
Hey all, we know these are tricky (and crazy) times, and there's a LOT of stuff going on in the world and especially in the US right now.
That said, we need to keep politics off BYH. They tend to be way too divisive and lead to contention (and cause way too much stress / work for our team)...
Hey amazing BYH members, we've got an idea we'd like to get your thoughts and feedback on!
Sumi had worked on an AMAZING project on BYC called "Featured Breeds" where she created a thread for each breed of chicken with general informaion, links, and discussions. It's been a great resource over...
My heart is broken over the loss of such an AMAZING woman. Loved and respected by literally thousands of people, as well as directly and indirectly having a huge positive impact on the lives of literally MILLIONS around the world through of her work with the BYC community.
I'm blessed to have...
