Sponsored Post Chicken Math Strikes Again!

Date sort Score sort
Just need some chicken math clarification from all you lovely enablers.

From my calculations, chicks you receive as a birthday present are free (even if they were payed for by someone who lives with you - after all they were are present!) so therefore they don't count right?

So when DD and I both get chicks for our birthdays, we still officially don't have any new biddies to add to the flock so we better get some right?
 
You can always get new chicks. Its up to you if you count them or not. I think from now on I will only count them once they reach a year old. I just set 42 eggs in the bator this morning. Crazy chicken math.

Sounds about right to me....now I need to start asking for chicks for my b'day!
 
Here is my chicken math:

Started with 5 (4 hens and a roo) - 4 (3 hens and roo killed by predator) + 4 (3 hens and one roo from the neighbor) – 1 (hen killed by roo) – 1 (bye-bye to that roo) + 3 (free hens on Craigslist) + 11 (chicks from local breeder – most of which turned out to be roos) + 2 (hens from the neighbor – 7 (too many roos) + 6 (hens from the feed store) + 5 (chicks from broody hen) + 5 (chicks from another broody hen) – 5 (sold chicks to neighbor) – 1 (roo went after our son) + 1 (roo showed up in our yard one day) – 1 (roo with back injury) - 1 (hen killed by hawk) – 6 (hens killed by fox) - 3 (roos sold on Craigslist) = 12 remaining (if I did my math right – 4 EE’s, 4 barnyard mixes, 1 australorp, 1 barred rock, 1 buff Orpington, 1 Welsummer) with plans to build a new coop with runs to add more chicks in the spring.

I blame my hubby. It was his idea to get chickens and I was originally opposed to the idea. But, now I’m the one who’s obsessed.
