Announcement BYC Official Polls: Existing - New - Brainstorming

[Chookchicken]

Poll idea:

Would you eat your chickens?
-If I’m killing them already I would
-Only the cockerels
-Only the ones I raise for eating
-I wouldn’t eat the ones I have a special bond with, but I’d eat the rest
-Any chickens that seem weak
-I’m not sure if I would or wouldn’t
-never
-other

Great idea, but I would add 15+ , 20+ And 30+ too.

Another poll idea: What do you do if a chickens / other poultry gets seriously injured or sick?

• Visit a vet
• Ask on a forum what it is and what to do
• Wait and see
• Take her/him into the house to quarantine and take care
• Give medicines if I think it might help
• Cull the bird if it looks bad
• Other?

Hey peeps, have you checked out our latest exciting polls?

• What Do You Do With Seriously Sick/Injured Chickens? (thank you @BDutch for yet another great idea)

What about a poll on other poultry?
What poultry do you have or had?
And why do you keep them / stopped keeping them?

• Ducks
• Pheasants
• Geese
• Turkey’s
• Guinees
• Quail
• … ??
