It would be hard for me to tuck 30 chooks in at night. I pet and check each one, (For crop issues) then say their names and tell them they are lovedI count 34
There were 29 chickens, then you realized it's 30, maybe, and now really it's 34, at least today, including the ones you have named, and we're assuming you named every one?
Don't worry! Congratulations are in order! You are getting into the upper leagues, the elite of chicken keeping, where people don't know how many chickens they have and they don't care! They stopped trying to count and everything is better. But you're still trying. Why? Well, what happened was that folks here wanted accuracy, and your response was to be accurate to a high degree. Stop that!
To really establish your standing in that elite group, just start using ranges of numbers from now on. Say out loud, "Oh, there's about 30-35 chickens here." See? Don't you feel everything's better already?
This also makes getting more chickens way easier. No worries about taking your relatives chicks, or breaking broodies. A total win-win! How? Just start using broader ranges! Say out loud, "Oh, I suppose there's about 30-40 chickens here." Isn't that satisfying? It's (probably) accurate and puts off those nosy nerds at the same time. Doesn't that feel great?![]()
