Thats the life of a chicken keeper. it starts with just four more, and then becomes forty more!

You have such a cool family.
A daughter that orders dozens of hatching eggs, and a husband that brings home chicks.
Some people get it all.

Chicken math

I was going to say, I guess this is the chicken math I’ve been reading about!

We were trying to downgrade a few years back to transition to ducks, and out of the blue someone we know messages saying they are getting rid of their flock. I had been around these birds alot and loved them/was familiar with them. Needless to say - they suggested we use them for meat, but the pitiful little things ended up being rehabbed and babied instead. We added four hens at that point (though two have passed since then, but they were such lovebugs and a joy to have had around). Sometimes you can't help yourself with the addition + part of the math!
