Nah, you’re still under sixty, and chicken math only counts after that.

Once chicken math kicks in. Do you know how hard it is to get back under 60??

I can’t seem to do it.

I did it by selling/giving everything away. I was told I could get poults from my Bourbons should I return to farming. Six months later the whole flock had been wiped out. I miss my turkeys. I tried with others, but it didn't take.

I had seventy something chickens, seven turkeys.

Well tomorrow we're finally marking out the garden and run areas. I'm thinking 2x4 meters for the run this time around, since we're only keeping four birds at any given time. Leaves plenty of room to expand later if I want.

Also we're talking about starting a vlog on YouTube just for fun. It'll be in the vein of animals, gardening, and raising kids. Since we're working on doing tutorials for the company anyway, we'd have our family out there already so might as well show people some useful stuff like caring for chickens, training dogs around children and birds, and gardening.

At one point I had over 100 now down to 60 soon to be 20 but most of those are chicks. Turkeys were fun but I won’t do them again. Simplify is the new thought here. We’ll see.

Duckling “Five down, seven to go!”
Me “Then what?”
Duckling “Then we put them in the incubator.”
No hopeful tone. Flat out fact.
Do you see the blue?!
