Hi Admin,

tried to send you a PM, but said no such User Name.

I posted the "SEX the CHICK Challenge"
& put pics of 4 chicks to test the skill of the masses!

I am expecting the Leg bands any day now.
Let me know if there is anything else I should do?

Thanx

Thanks Poultryprincess!!
Very nice post! Exactly what I had in mind. I added the polling to it now. Hopefully 2 weeks is not too long. I'm just guessing that 3-4 weeks old is a good time for the next pics? Let me know, I can change the duration for the poll as needed.

That'll be fun watching.

Quickest way on a desktop to send a PM or email to someone is to click on the little speech bubble on the right side under the avatar of the person. At the very bottom is the "Contact" and the little icon next to it is clickable.

On mobile devices, click on the username at the top of the post from that person. You get a menu with "Reply in PM".

If you don't want to allow sending emails to you, you should disable it in the UCP (default is enabled).

Thanx for all the info & for creating the poll.
( I Did click the message bubble which brought me to the PM section. In the header they asked who to send it to. I put poultrylower case slash admin & that's when the answer came back "No such person.

Oh, I see. :lightbulb:
I think I know what you saw.
I got stumped on that form the first time I saw that as well. When the PM message comes up, there is a field on top that asks to add additional recipients. And right below that is a text field (small, easy to overlook) that says who is selected already to get this PM. Since I am there already, I can't be added again.

Or gremlins....

Anyhow, I am glad the poll is up and working. Thanks again for your pics and volunteering to take more later. I felt quite lonely there for most of the day with my votes, but not anymore!

They are Fabulous Kenya!
Just moved them to a larger pen that I can enlarge without much trouble.

I had hoped to Hatch another batch of chicks, but life got in the way.
Fingers crossed for "maybe" a hatch NEXT MONTH - LOL
