Chicken math got me again!!!

I tried to get my husband to be the responsible one who would say no a few months ago but he responded with "get as many as you want", so I turned around and went back to the store and got 3 chicks, I was very proud of my self control. Chicken math is the best kind of math!

Enjoy your Sapphire Gems! They are gorgeous.

I cant buy 6. It's a even #. I have to get 7 for the calculation to come out right in my books.

We are the same person!!!!! I hate even numbers. I have 3 kids, 3 dogs, 7 chickens, 1 lizard. It has to be odd. Everything has to be odd numbered. So when I was going to get 4 new chicks and they offer the free one, it sent me into a spin because I could totally get on board with a free mystery chick but then that's 12. I spent an hour trying to decide if 12 was okay even though it's even because it's a dozen which makes sense because of eggs. But then I decided a baker's dozen was better making it back to odd. So then I almost bought 5 + the mystery until I thought about the size of my coop and run and thought it might be too small for 13. But yet I was okay with 11 or 12? So maybe 13 is fine afterall? In the end, I skipped the free chick to keep it 11 and we are safely an odd number again. And I never thought anyone else would get it.

Here's our chicken math, started with 12 pullets in April, in June a fox killed 8 of them. Bomgaars still has chicks. I think nice we'll replace the 8 we lost, you know grow the flock by a dozen a year. Besides it will help the 4yr old stop asking what happened to my chickens.

My husband says "I was thinking more like 40". We got 36 pullets and 4 Guineas
His dog kills one of the 3 polish (his favorite), he orders a dozen straight run polish off the internet. That was end of July. Two weeks ago they arrive, the never had an issues before, dogs get into the temp. brooder within 2 hrs of arrival and eat all of them.

I get 6 EE and 6 American (I want the blue and green eggs) thinking we already have a brooder why not, oh but they can order a dozen assorted polish pullets. Happy early birthday honey...

I started with 12 birds in April its September and I have 58 layers, 1 rooster, 3 guineas, 48 Cornish cross to be butchered at the end of October. The rooster probably won't be with us much longer.

My husband says hatch all you want, but sell all of them.
