Understanding Chicken Math

Exactly lol

alright!!! I think I've got it!!!....

As I'm making arrangements to go pick up 2 silkie chicks tonight, when I told myself I was only going to get 1 silkie, later on this summer with the rest of my flock's arrival....oh well!

So the logorithm is: Free chicks don't count; non-laying hens don't count; roos count as half; bantams (no matter laying status) don't count.

Can we agree that ornamental breeds don't count too? That would free up a lot more inventory for some. And, while we are at it, game birds count only as 1/2 as well. And meat birds count as negatives on processing months, so you can get twice as many to replenish.

I'm relieved....I have no chickens which means I can buy 38 chickens and start my flock

Oh I never get a single chick. Remember chicks don't count and silkie are bantam so they will never count

and silkies are ornamental...so they don't exist in any sphere or planet...so I'm good!

You ABSOLUTELY can get a silkie because they are the invisible bird! You can pass them off as a rabbit with a cleft pallet too!
