But, but...you have silkies and they shouldn't count as full sized chickens!

He knows the square footage per chicken needed in coops, so when that hits on the high side, he'll bring it up to me. That's when I say that!

"But, these are silkies, so we can squeeze more in per square foot."

Nothing humourous exactly, it's just that chickens are addicting. You start with a flock of 4, soon you want more so you add 8 more... Later that year you now have 40 chickens. So the "chicken math" behind this is, 4+8=40. (Somehow the original flock of 4 became 40....Chicken Math.)

Now, there's factual 'logic' here.
