We had some chicken math of our own!!!
our plan was to get 6 hens (no Roos). We had never had chickens before so we figured we would start small
on Monday, he brought home 8!!! 2 Silver laced Wyandottes 2 blue Wyandottes, 2 production reds and 2 ISA Browns. I asked him what happened to 6 and he said he liked these ones so he got 8 cause he couldn’t decide which 2 not to get.
On Wed. We went back to get supplies and saw they had RIR and Golden Comets, and we left with 4 more chicks!!! (2 of each).
Now I had wanted some Easter eggers, I thought they would be fun for the kids to collect different colored eggs. But now we were up to 12 chicks! This long time city girl was feeling a bit overwhelmed.
On Thurs. my 22 yo daughter went to coastal farm supply with her BF while I was working and called me all excited because they had a new batch of EEs that had just arrived. I took a deep sigh and said, well pick me out 2. She came home with 4!!!! Said they were so cute and so many different colors she couldn’t get just 2.
So now!!!! My small little first time starter coop of 6 hens is now a full blown coop/run with 16!!!!!
This was about 4-5 weeks ago!
An now to top it all off, we discovered one of the blue Wyandottes is a cockerel!!!!
So I now have 15 hens and a Roo!!!
Oye Vye!!! Gotta love chicken math!!!!!
