<3 Chicken math. Went to TCS yesterday for 6, yes SIX chicks....and might have kinda sorta accidently came home with 13. But boy are they cute!

wow what do you do with all those eggs?yes it is true about the chicken math..

 

[peep peep]

Haha my grandmother started off with just 4 chickens.. then she got 2 more.... then 1 disappeared mysteriously. So she got 3 more! Then of course I had to get some and... we're adding up.

LOL

just wait until chicken math gets to you, you'll start off with your happy flock but then, you have some space, so you get some more chicks, but you HAVE to order 25 so you get another coop, then that coop is a little empty, and the roosters you have to cull MUST be replaced, and the chicks dont count since they dont lay. Just wait till chicken math gets to you, you start off with these little chicks then you have 50

Oh the chicken math...good luck. I started with 10 chicks which quickly grew into 25 cause I wanted more. Then my grandpa god love him built me a coop for my "special" birds (speckled sussex are my game<3) So that number quickly grew to 50 and then I built another outside coop which gave me room for 50 more.....needless to say I now have over 300 birds and I love them to death..each and every one . Not to mention I hatch 1000 eggs in 3 incubators from feb-sept every year <3 THE CHICKEN MATH NEVER LIES!

I hope you have a farm! My urban underground covert coop won't house that many!

OH MY! They are so little and fluffy!! I say this as my 9 day old chikcs are feathering right before my eyes!!!

Not that they are not cute, too. They are actually somuch fun, I can just sit there and stare at them.

[mommissan]

Chicken math gets real messy when you have an incubator.
