Everyone was all tucked up on the roost at 8:55, with Khan making warning noises as I approached to close the coop door. Success!!!!!

Well, I have an early meeting in the morning - two in fact. Both will SEVERELY try my patience - I'm already grumpy in advance, and if I stuck around my company wouldn't be very good, so 'll say goodnight now.

I am not. I love to study them, to enjoy their beauty to learn through them, to meat new people because of them, and I am enjoying tremendously their wonderful eggs, but that is all.
Chicken math. Don't influence me.

Chicken math doesn't influence me....


That would be proper I believe, math being the subject of the sentence. Chicken being an adjective describing the math....

Math is singular so the verb needs to be singular. Therefore "doesn't" is correct.

Example:

He doesn't ...
They don't...

Those would be maths, would they not? Or do those in the US not use that word?

'Chicken math' would be the name of a kind of math, like geometry or calculus..... That's my take on it.
