Announcement BYC Official Polls: Existing - New - Brainstorming

[jonalisa]

On top of all pages in the polls you can choose whatever is right for you. After submitting you see the poll results.
Maybe you already made you're choice in the polls and forgot you did?

I clicked on each link one at a time and took the poll. After each one, I went back to this list and took the next poll. I took them one after another, so, no, I didn't forget.

Idea for a new poll. If you like this idea please improve the language.

What do you do to make you’re chicks /pullets roost?
- I let them practice when they are only a few weeks old by putting a perch in their coop
- I wait until they are POL and put them on a roost every evening
- I just wait and see
- my chickens don’t roost
- other (tell us)

Stories are welcome!

Another 2 ideas for a poll (not sure if they are asked before)

Do you have a run?
- Yes
- No (free ranging)
- No (large coop)
- Other (please explain)
Tell us why you made this choice.

Is you’re run covered?
- no
- with netting
- with hardware cloth
- with a solid roof
- other (please explain)
Tell us why you made this choice.

Another idea for a poll (only for members who have chickens for a longer period).

How fast is you’re chicken math!
You start with the number you intended to have at the start of the first year.

- Doubled in 1 year
- Doubled in 2 years
- Doubled in 3 years
- Doubled in 4 years
- Tripled in 1 year
- Tripled in 2 years
- Tripled in 3 years
- Tripled in 4 years
- Multiplying slower (no chicken math)
- Multiplying faster (insane)

Show you’re calculations!

I still love this idea of asking about peoples chicken maths. Maybe in another way. But I love to see peoples calculations.

Alternative poll?
How many chickens more or less chickens do you have now compared to the year you started ?
- about the same
- about twice as much
- about half as much
- it multiplied more than 3 times
- other


Just for fun I show you mine.
moment of truth, Thanksgiving. .
2014 3 pullets + 1 cockerel
2015 6 pullets
2016 status quo
2017 status quo
2018 6 hens and 2 pullets + 1 cockerel
2019 7 hens + 1 pullet
2020 7 hens
2021 hopefully 5 hens and 2 pullets + 1 cockerel (if no more casualties)
