    Official BYC Poll: Which Challenges Did You Face in Getting Backyard Chickens?

    It has been a relatively easy go for me after I managed to convince my parents (only took six months haha) though it started off kind of bumpy when the first 5 chicks a friend gave to me turned out to be all roosters 🤦‍♀️
