Official BYC Polls -- Your feedback and ideas needed!

[BYC Project Manager]

In the past we have held a few Official BYC Polls.

Some examples...

• How Long Have You Been Raising Chickens?
• What Breed Characteristic Is Most Important?
• The Worst Predator

...and many more.

We thought we'd ask our members what polls they'd like to participate in! What are some things you'd love to see the results to? Maybe something you've always wondered, like "Am I the only one?"

Post your ideas here so we can get some polls rolling!

Shepherd, have we done a "how to prepare for power outages" or "what do you do when your power goes out" poll? Got another storm blowing through, and I'm sitting here with two incubators, one hatcher, & one brooder that will need power when our power goes out and I am wondering what other people do to keep from losing eggs and chicks.

If it helps any I used hot water bottles/jars for freshly hatched chicks.

What about something like, "How old is/was your oldest chicken?"

 

[FayeLinnie]

How about, 'Whats your favourite breed?'
'Unique ways to keep your predators away'
'what delicious treats you your Chickens go wild for?'
'Free range?'

 

[Gmasandy]

How about how many times a day to you go out to check for eggs?

Do your chickens come running to you when you go out?

• What made you interested in raising chickens?
• How many pounds of feed do you go through a month?
• How many people have you convinced to get their own flock?
• What is your favorite chicken stage? (egg, chick, pullet, hen, goldy oldy)

Why do you keep chickens? Show, pets, conservation, eggs, pest control or meat.

When I joined BYC. my first thought was "How many chickens are in your flock? And "Do you name your chickens"? It would be cool also to see the # of members from each state!
