I dont need an award, I need to be locked up in a mental institution Add all your chickens minus roosters minus non laying pullets minus chicks minus any grow outs minus 10% loss due to future predators or illness minus any you have for sale minus those you are thinking about selling minus any selected for freezer camp minus project pens and then calculate how many you have left. Calculate the average number of eggs those chickens give you, reduce the subtotal by the fraction. Thats REALLY how many chickens you have!! You can further reduce by 40-60% if you have bantams. Furthermore there are three chickens to every human so you must have at least 3 final counted chickens per household member because you could never be below average.
