What's chicken math? Lol
1+1 does not equal 2. You start with 1 chicken. and somehow they multiply. Threw hatching, feed store visits want ads etc. People say "I want X chickens for X eggs and that's it." next thing you know you have x20 that number but there are flexible rules to the X number. Its like a drug. And when you use real math by the numbers/ % it always almost goes in the birds favor. People who have laws/ordinances that restrict them sometimes do better. Or they become in-town outlaws. 99% of most poultry keepers will get and enjoy chicken math. I doubt there is a cure but doubt many people with it (Not people around them, like spouse, kids parents etc.) want 1 anyway. Its like gravity, you just are not naturally born to resist it.
