Chicks don't count because a few are likely to die.
Layers don't count because they are providing food.
Broodies don't count because they are incubators.
Roosters don't count because they are security.
Meaties don't count because they are food.
Named birds don't count because they are pets.
I don't have any birds. I better get some!

I agree about the bantam sized chickens. They're small so should not count toward your chicken number. I also ended up buying a second coop - just for the silkies & seramas.... my "useless chickens". Again, none of those little birds count toward our chicken total. Likewise baby chicks don't count. They only make the numbers fluctuate a bit between when they're hatched & sold. How else can one keep the chicken number under a dozen?
