Lol well I got to say, that's too many for me at once. What does your hubby and her hubby do for living!?!?!

I think I am going to print this out to show my wife. She is always trying to get me to give her a # of how many chickens will be enough - and until now I never thought I could put a number on it - Well now I can!

I think this will put our little flock into perspective!

Wow, I love this! Tell her she needs to BYC! I'd show this to my hubbie, except that he probably wouldn't let me get on the internet anymore b/c he'd fear I'd get ideas...shhh...i already am going to try and sneak in a few more peepers this weekend.

Enough would be where I wouldn't have to mow any of 45 acres....sounds perfect. Oh, and not have any get stomped on by a cow or horse.

Too many then, the horse calls me an idiot enough as it is. There has to be a formula.

I found this on BYC: 400 birds per acre, which works out to about 87.5 sq ft per bird, is supposed to be enough to maintain a pasture without its turning into a mud pit, although I think you still have to rotate pastures and replant grass..
