I don't understand what it is you are confused about.

Excellent. Now it's a question of area and forage quality and what impact this may have Some years ago I became curious about the free range eating habits of the chickens I looked after. I estimated an average hen needs her crop to go from full to empty three times a day to consume by volume...

So you agree that the majority of flocks are not kept fully confined?

:lau 51 votes is "not at all" . No problem with this. the next two, "I sometimes let them out weekly for a few hours, [space choice]", 33 votes, is "not often" Nope, you don't know what the value of a few hours is. The point is, they are not in the coop and run. the next two, "a few hours...

Do you think you could post the algorithm math so I can see how it works?

I don't understand how you have come to this conclusion. It would help as I mentioned earlier in the thread if you number the options then we only have to type A) B) and so on. I need to know which option you are refering to. Take the first option. It's received 51 votes out of the total "My...

True. :lol: But 154 is the toal votes, not any particular category. You have to look at the votes for each category and then group them. So many for eight hours ranging, so many for weekly ranging et etc. What may be confusing is the word secure in the caegory descriptions. Obviously a chicken...

I don't know whch poll you've been reading.:lol: Your poll indicates that 154 people have voted at the time I wrote this. 51 of those people state they don't let their chickens out of the coop and run at all. 101 of those that voted let their chickens range for a few hours daily(it could be...

@U_Stormcrow May I make a suggestion. Number the options in the poll. It will make it easier when people are not sure which option is applicable to their keeping arrangements.

You do realise the percentages don't add up don't you?

Graphs can be very misleading. To get a proper understanding you need to examine the poll results. The comments, while interesting to read are really only usefull to work out if the participants understand the voting options.

I think 500 will be a hard target to hit. I've asked people to vote on my thread. What you could do is every time you post on a feed topic link to the poll with a request to vote. Probably more acceptable than tagging people.

I agree but such is the nature of this type of poll. A simpler version would have been my preference but it should still be interesting.

Bear in mind what is and what isn't significant amount of potential nutriants in the context of the discussion. One would have to set anything over 10% of their total intake of foodstuffs as significant in this case. One would also need more detail of what forage is available than straight...

< less than. >More than.

Good man.:) I've voted with respect to the Ex Battery hens I'm caring for.
