BYC Glossary & Index of Abbreviations - Ideas and suggestions!

[Lothiriel]

I'm helping Nifty with some projects and one is an Index of Abbreviations. Lots of new peeps get confused when they see us old salts using terms like "GLW" or "BBR OEGB." So I've compiled this list. If anyone would like to give it a once-over (or a twice over, if you like), and post any feedback, additions, suggestions or ideas here, we will be most grateful! And while you're at it, take a peep at the Glossary too.

• BYC Index of Abbreviations & Acronyms
• Glossary Of Terms For Raising Chickens

Also let us know if you think the two articles should be combined into one or left separate.

Thanks Lothiriel!

We get a ton of questions about the terms used in the forum. Lots of the terms are BYC / Forum specific so we initially thought it would be a good idea to have the lists separate, but let us know if you think the abbreviations and glossary should all be combined.

Also, if you have any ideas, suggestions, changes, etc. that you think should be made to either of the above items, please let us know!

I think it would be best if the two articles remained separate. Also just a suggestion for the Glossary instead of common terms for chickens could it possibly changed to common terms for Poultry? I'd say 85 % of those terms can be applied to all the poultry sections but there are still some terms that could possibly added to make it more Universal for BYC.

I really am please to find both of the lists of abbreviations and terms. They will both help. Thank you.

Would you consider adding SFH - Swedish Flower Hen to the abbreviation list? Thanks!

That is a fantastic list. Is there a way to print that out? I hope so. It would be helpful here at Horizon Structures/

Very helpful! I like seperate lists.

Please add FF = Fermented Feed - and possibly a link to the thread about it?

Could you add something for the 'ditto quote,' most commonly I see X2 but I have seen higher counts. Thank you for considering and for all you do.
