There are a couple of threads on here that explain chicken math...But let me tell you how I figure the number of chickens I have.
I have 4 D'uccles. They are a bantam breed so they each count for 1/2 a chicken. So I have 2. But one of them isn't laying, she's broody, so subtract 1 from that so I have 1 chicken.
I have 3 chicks. Chicks don't count, cuz they are too little. So I still have 1 chicken.
I have 4 LF hens. 2 were free, from a friend so they don't count. Only one of the other 2 is laying so subtract a total of 3 from the 4.
So my flock is only 2 birds. I need more birds. End of story. I think I'll contact a few people this week to set something up.

Well I dont have any chickens than because none are laying

I like the way that works

I tried this with DH... Didn't work. Then I described it to him in terms of his hunting crap. I think he got it but is still refusing to admit it.

How are the baby goats and piggies doing?

okay don't see piggies in your profile so maybe you don't have piggies.

 

[PartridgeRooster]

I do have piggies and both batches are doing great for the most part. Lost two of the most recent ones to the Momma laying on them, but theres plenty of room in the stall so I guess they didn't move fast enough.

I've been doing some Swaps the last couple of days..OMGoodness! I'm addicted now!

Lets see I have Serama, Sizzle, Black Australorps coming from BHep. Seramas coming from HenThymes...then DUCK eggs..yes you read that right...coming from sonew123...however I won't be able to keep the ducklings if they hatch. I will be giving them to a friend.

But...on a brighter note when ever we got to see our friends, I will get to see them.

Then somehow, or other I have 2 bars of Lemon soap coming from All-American-Chick?

Don't know how that happened?

I mostly just wanted hatching eggs, but she wanted something I had so bad I decided to humor her.

Sorry, don't have any Sizzles. I will be getting a grey smooth Sizzle male in from NY next week, and then I have some Sizzle hatching eggs coming, but currently I'm Sizzle-less! My, that sounds strange!
