Sponsored Post Chicken Math Strikes Again!

Update on my chicken addiction. I now have 30 chickens. My DH is constructing a new chicken palace for me and my babies.

Chicken math gpt to me too! We've already made the covered run bigger. And today started extending they're pen! My husband thinks I'm cRaZy! Lol.

I was in the midst of trying to hatch out my first ever batch of eggs when I sent out the mullah for batch #2 !
Isn't this closer to Enron math? Trying to 'count' what I don't yet have!
Instant addict maker... I need to start to pretend like Chicken Fairies don't exist!
My Fairy keeps appearing at my bator...giving my Hovabator more eggs, just for being a good little bator...she's even bringing me a back-up bator for trying to be a good incubator 'Mom'!

My first batch of babies just rounded the bend into their fourth week and I already have 6 more eggs in the current bator that are on day 10... add to the fact that, now, with the new bator coming Wednesday, I already heard from a little chicken baby (that must be 'tight' with the Chicken Fairy) that I will have 8-12 brand new eggs magically appear in the brand new bator!
Is there an immunization I can get for my Incubatus Chickenitis?
Because I already have plans for more eggs in the spring!

Chicken math or Chicken Madness? You decide...

Uh oh, in two weeks I went from 5 to 7! So at that rate in one year I will be up to......oh, I'm not sure I can count that high.

Looks as if I'm destined for more. Just did the official tally on the number of eggs under my broody...EIGHT !!!

Not bad for a one pound silkie (though I think she may have been visited by the 'egg fairy') !!! Well, I'd better get to building some more coops.

I went from 5 to 10 chickens 2 weeks ago. Chicken math struck for the first time. In addition to my 1 Wyandotte, 1 Ameraucana, 3 Orpington (2 roosters) I added 5 Partridge Chanteclers. So happy! I know some day chicken math will strike again... maybe when I have another broody

 

[vpatt]

Went from five to seven and from seven to nine....I am really going to try to stop now...really.

I've found that the math isn't just for chickens. I was supposed to get 3 ducks and ended up with 11. Was only supposed to have 2 breeds of chickens and am building the pen for a third. Oh well

 

[blkjak]

I agree about the ducks. Started with 3 muscovies. Duck math. Today have 10 muscovies and 10 other ducks (buff, khaki, cayuga, and blue swedish).

Lol...I love reading of other people's struggle with chicken math.

I first ordered 4 from a hatchery (4)...subtracted one because it was no longer available (3)...received 4 (4)...got 16 hatching eggs (possible 20)...hatched three (7)...gave away two (5)...lost one to impacted crop (4)...ordered six more (10)...received 8 (12)...lost 2 due to shipping (10)...ordered three more (13)...contemplating what else I can get in the spring!
