How many chickens do we all have? 60,083 and counting.

[Triggerjay]

+6 = 5573

 

[BellLisamo]

5573+61 = 5634

 

[FlockMama]

5634 + 4 = 5638

Forgive me, but how can people have 2 or 3 or 4 chickens?? I would like to know!! I started with 6, yep, 6....only one year ago. I was up to almost a hundred last fall, sold a whole bunch of chicks, and was down to about 50-60 for the winter. Now I'm up to almost 150, with another 50+ birds of other 'species'. So what's your secret??

5638 + 43 = 5681

5681 +69=5750

5750 + 32 = 5782

Give 'em time.

I started with only 4 chickens...now 6 weeks later I have 12. So my flock more than doubled in size in less than 2 months. I tried to run the calculations of how many that would be by the end of the year, but the math hurt my head.
If you build a coop, they will come...and come....and come....and come

**Sorry...flashbacks to Coop Of Dreams...I mean "Field Of Dreams"
