8-1=12???

Only with chickens can you get a crazy answer like that and it is true. We had 8 chickens (1 large one and 7 chicks). I lost a chick today so we went to the supply store and was going to replace it. Well...when we got there, you had to buy a minimum of 5. So, yup. As far as chickens go...8-1=12 LOL!

I

chicks

I completely understand that kind of math. We started out with 5, then lost 2. Went to the feed store and had to buy a minimum of 3. So, 5 - 2 = 6 here!

Ours has gone bonkers too. 8-1=11+6=17-1=19. What in the world? LOL

Chicken math = my math

Chicken math is not to be understood. Just accept it for what it is.

Planned to get 6, came home with 8.
"What extra chicks, you just counted wrong. They are hard to count with all that running around."
Lost 1 to impacted crop. Now one is getting picked on - odd numbers are NOT good. So for the good of that one poor little defensless chick, I MUST get 1 more..... I'm sure the feed store won't have a problem at all with me picking up just one chick....
