Chicken math

[blkjak]

JRNash, you had me laughing so hard my sides hurt. Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone in this crazy chicken math. Lol. My husband just shakes his head at me at says I need a refresher math course and fewer chickens. He is also plotting on hiding the incubator. He is trying to find a chicken help group for me, he thinks I'm addicted to our chickens. I can't help it that I find raising chickens therapeutic and enjoyable.

Maybe our spouses should start a support group! Not sure what they would call themselves.

Looking @catalog thinking of adding about 10-15 more. There's so many different interesting breeds. Now mind you, we only wanted 3 to start with. That will be closer to 50 count after ordering more chicks.

Ok so since they are new and have not laid an egg even though they are one year old they cannot count. Now being in quarantine means there is no guarantee at this point that they will make it into the flock so again cannot count. That being said they cannot count until they are in the main flock AND lay an egg. Now then when they molt and stop for a while they again cannot count until molt is done and laying begins again.

Yup you still need more chickens.

Mostly I ordered them for a colorful egg basket, but I may use the EEs and Marans to try and make some olive eggers. My husband requested the Chenteclers, we've had that breed before and he really enjoyed them. I'm hoping they throw a few packing peanuts I the box too. Mine are coming from Ideal, can't wait!
