I want to know how many birds(chickens, ducks, etc.) everyone has! Me, I have 57 birds in all. 54 chickens, and 3 ducks free ranging on 9 acres. I have a great variety of breeds and a very colorful flock. Everything from Production Reds and Barred Rocks to Chocolate Orpingtons and Bantam Frizzled Polish. Start posting!

I have 33 but 84 eggs in the incubator due to hatch in 6 days. All chickens in 8 housing/pen units. I'm also picking up some started pullets Saturday that will be quarantined in a vacant meatie coop. One pen has 6 breeds in it, the others are all Penedesencas.
The least I've had is 10 and the most was about 100.

When someone asks that question I have to add up the birds in each coop because it changes so often. At any one time I don't know off the top of my head how many I have. Not that I bring in birds that often but I hatch and cull a lot. The birds coming Saturday may be the last I ever bring in. They are of an unrelated line same breed as mine and 8 of the eggs in the bator are yet another line so hopefully that will give me all the diversity I need to make this breed happen. I also forget how many different breeds I've had. I think it is about 25.
