I understand! I started out with 9 about 5 years ago but one died at a week old so I don’t really count it. Anyway, I had 8 for years and then added 5 more pullets last year then I bought an incubator and hatched 9 last November (8 ended up boys :th ) then I added 9 more chicks this spring (one boy in that group) and then also hatched one of the original boy’s chicks this July from a broody hen. Oh and I also hatched quail in June too. So chicken math totally hit me all within like a year or year and a half 😂🤣 added 2 budgies in March too LOL but I have practiced subtraction too since I also sadly lost some birds in between, had to put a couple down, and gave some of the boys away. I lost my rooster two weeks after his chicks hatched 😭😭😭

I had to put 2 birds down this year, & 2 died.

I believe we started out with 4 barred rocks, 4 leghorns, 2 D'uccles, 5 RIRs.

We still have the D'uccle ladies, who are turning 6 next year.

Awww I’m sorry! :( 2 of mine got Mareks and had to be put down about a month apart this spring and then my rooster I think died of heat stroke but I’m not sure ?? I also had two of the chicks get taken when I moved them outside. They were both roosters but still sad. One was a favorite BR I wanted to keep. :( I lost my BR hen last summer to heat too :( she was old though. Lost a couple quail this year too. It was a rough start :( oh and I also lost 3 of my older girls in one night to a predator. :( rough for sure. Lots of loss. But it got better with all the chicks and everything.

I started with 2 Barred Rocks (one was the one I lost at a week old), 3 Buff Orpingtons (they gave me an extra one), 2 Black Australorps, and 2 Easter Eggers. I only have 1 BO, 1 BA, and 1 EE left of the older girls. 😭 I had 2 each but 3 were the ones taken! I wanted to hatch the EEs eggs too 😭😭😭

Anyway the ones left turn 5 end of October.
