Official BYC Poll: How many chickens do you have?

[pascopol]

Can't count'em, numbers change almost daily or weekly as I sell them and hatch new ones.

My best answer : "I HAVE AS MANY AS IS REQUIRED".

Anyway that's the answer my wife gets every time she ask this question.

My little chick family consists of 4 Barred Rocks, 3 Rhode Island Reds, and 2 Easter Eggers, which is a total of 9. I want more. I want more.

4 ducks that now are 6 (thanks to great insight from BYC folks to get our ratio in good order)...10 hens (8 different breeds), 5 dogs, 3 cats, 3 bunnies, 6 finches +++.....

Living the good life in Southern California. Getting ready to move to a small country home in Virginia with more acreage ...for more hoofed animals.

Thanks for all your work on this site - and everyone's commitment to honor the inner love for Backyard Chickens (& Ducks, etc.) !

Blessings!

As of this morning, we have 2 less chickens. Something got into the coop last night and killed them plus injured another. So now we have 13 hens and a roo. Trying to nurse Little Whitey. Her neck and left eye got damaged but she is eating and drinking - in a pet carrier in the shade right now. Neighbor is going to set a live trap outside the coop tonight. He thinks it was a raccoon.

Best of luck relocating or relifeing that prediter. My numbers changed too I now have 11 meat birds and 8 layers. I lost 5 with travel stress and or genetic issues. So total 19 birds.
