I had to take a lot of math classes in college, but they never taught chicken math
I know! It should be a required course!
The same exact way I only wanted 3-4 chickens for eggs. Now I've got 6 big enough to lay eggs, 3 that aren't quite there yet, 6 babies that just hatched, 2 roosters and 3 turkeys...
Well, don't matter too much for me since I actually have less than half the number of chickens I started out with.
