Chicken math

[Blooie]

We got 10 and that was ENOUGH. LoL When they're chicks, they have to stay inside and they POOP UP A STORM. haha. Couldn't wait for them to be feathered enough to go out!

Hence the reason I brood mine outside in the run from the start!

Chicks do not have to be inside. I never brood in the house, I can't imagine breathing all that dander.....

Chicken math strikes again. I had 24 chicks, 12 pullets and probably 12 cockerels, which would mean 12 hens with 2 Roos and then some great chicken dinners. Well the feed store didn't cancel my order I made back in march. Now I have 6 more golden sex link day old chicks.

Love chicken math!

I'm about to lose one, my roo is going to a new home when he starts crowing so I will be down to 4 hens. Will probably stay there for a while. I originally only wanted 2 so it still counts as "chicken math" lol

Definately counts as chicken math. You are double what you wanted! Good job!

My chicks are not even laying yet, and yet I was looking at incubators for Christmas

I have hatched out 52 healthy chicks this year already. Lost a few along the way. Have 28 duck eggs in the bator now, 7 silkies sitting on eggs and 2 muscovies on clutches. My coop was full before chicks. Told my DH I wanted a Chicken Palace and he rolled his eyes at me. Going to a Poultry and small animal sale on Sunday.

Sounds like the plan I'm already trying to "hatch" for next spring! only downfall is I'm grounded from going to the feed store by myself; I can't be trusted to come home chick free lol

Just when I think I have my addiction under control I order 60 cornish xs and email a lady about 12 fertile Isbar eggs.
