, especially in winter
when I go out with my chickens
to catch my chickens
This one is funny.Another contest idea:
Who dares to go inside the coop or run with bare feet?
- I do sometimes because ….
- I wear flipflops in summer
- slippers
- boots
- crocks almost all year round
- wooden shoes because I’m Dutch or ..
- rain boots if it's wet or muddy
- moccasins or loafers ….
- pumps
- old and easy to step in shoes
- running shoes
- other ….
Project manager / contributors, please add or change if you like the idea.
Good idea but I wouldn’t know how to answer this bc: 3 hens go broody 3-4 times a year, one goes broody 1-2 times a year and 1 doesn’t go broody at all.
How do you become a proper member of this to have a higher byc level how do you attend to be a administratorHey Everyone!
Sumi did an AMAZING job with the "BYC Breed Focus" project. Peeps especially love that she put links to all the items in one post! This got me thinking about a kinda similar idea with our "Official BYC Polls".
Here's what we're planning on doing:
Official BYC Polls:
- Our Volunteer Project Managers (VPMs) will be working on creating funteresting (fun + interesting) Official BYC Polls.
- As these polls are created, we'll be posting links to them here, and also promoting them on the homepage, newsletter, etc.
- We'll be keeping an eye on this thread for your ideas and suggestions for new polls to be created and added to the list!
Keep an eye on this thread for updates, and please reply with your ideas on new polls!
