Started with 9 chickens, then my wife and daughter started sneaking more chicks in and went up to 21. 20 hens and 1 rooster. Then a lady gave my daughter 10 hens and 1 rooster. I got 3 polish hens from I guy I work with. Then a neighbor asked my daughter if she wanted 2 ducks and of course she said yes. Had a couple of mishaps and lost 7 hens. So now we have 24 hens and 2 roosters plus 2 ducks.
