Official BYC Poll: Are Your Chickens Really Ready for the New Year?

[BYC Project Manager]

The new year always gets us thinking. New goals. Fresh starts. Better habits.

And let’s be honest, at some point we all look at the coop and think, “I should probably deal with that soon.”

But what actually needs attention first?

This quick poll is just for fun, but it is also a great way to see what other chicken keepers are focusing on as the year begins. There are no wrong answers here. We are all juggling the same feathers, mud, and feed bins.

So take a second, think about your flock, and pick what feels most important right now.

What new breeds to add! I have some older hens, I have room for some new ones...slip over to a rabbit hole and wonder, would I like those?

The same as every year around this time, how do I keep enough greens in the garden that they still have something te eat when winter arrives... I had so much still growing, didn´t do much fall cleaning , but after a month of freezing everything is pretty much pulp now...
even the kale and the weeds
