My hubby calls it Chicken Anonymous, so when I'm on BYC he asks if I'm "talking with your fellow addicts again?"

Don't mind him, we're building another coop this month so he's cranky.

Yeah, I think it is the duck math he needs to watch out for.

We were talking about how many pets we have last night. I am about to get an English Angora bunny on Monday and he says that bunny is pet number 9.
I said, "No, we only have 4 pets. Ducks = 1, Chickens = 1, Cat = 1, Bunny = 1.
Now, if the ducks knew their names and came to them instead of all coming running when I say, "Hey Quackers". Or the chickens came to their names rather than "Chicken-oh-Chicken", then we would have ChickenS = 4 and DuckS = 3.

So, with my chicken algebra, I can add the trio of Welsh Harlequins next spring and still only have 1 pet ducks.

I like that math.​

Duck math is insidious.

You don't count:
any ducklings with their mothers.
any young ducks too immature to sex
any ducks not yet laying eggs.
any drakes who aren't staying (i.e. freezer camp) for the Winter

And it effects chicken math:

So now, you don't count:
any chicken who likes to hang out with the ducks (cause really, its a duck at heart)
any ducklings raised by a Silkie

and on and on and on . . .

Not a darn thing except I want some turkeys really badly and gotta figure out how to get the DH to build me another coop!​
