Update 9:15 PDT: Things are going well! The main/core software has been updated, and now we're updating the many addons / configs.

Update 11:00 PDT: Sorry, we ran into a few config things we needed to sort out. Hopefully back up shortly!

Update 12:00 PDT: There were more addons I didn't know we needed updating, so working on buying / installing them now

Update 12:30 PDT: We're live! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/byc-software-update-2025.1676819/

Hi Friends!

BYC is going to be unavailable during a big software update starting Monday (9/22/2025) morning around 7am PDT.

Our team has been working behind-the-scenes for weeks preparing for this update. We even did a FULL update on a "development" copy of BYC, and it seemed to go very smoothly!

We are hoping that the downtime won't be longer than 4 hours... but as is always the case with these kinds of things, it could always be shorter or longer.

I'll update this post/thread along the way

Thank you for your patience and support!!!

For those who go through withdrawals from BYC being down, we here at BYH will be glad to welcome them here, even for a short duration. We have cookies!

When they did this 8 years ago is when I discovered BYH, and I’ve loved it here ever since!

We are scheduling it for 8am PDT / 4pm BST. I'm doing the work, so closing the board in 50 minutes.
