New Blue Copper Moran added yesterday!

So good to know, and I talked with another couple folks, with chickens, who agreed to be patient, but had done it a few times without complications. Oh, so looking forward to the combined flock!

My experience with chicken math: Every year, I mysteriously have more birds... No great mystery really, they are good at multiplying. Sometimes you just want some new lawn candy. Before you know it, you're adding more birds to your flock, one way or another.

On watery stools...some of my birds are like that too. I believe the heat might have something to do with it. I'm curious to hear other opinions on this though.

Chicken Math? Explain for this newbie, please.

There is a good thread on Chicken Math at https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/678858/explaining-chicken-math )

Funny! Yes, already things have changed! Went to Fountain, Colorado for the Golden Laced Wyandotte, and my son....ok, me too, decided she would be happier with a friend, and WAAALAAA...we have a Rhode Island White too. Promised my husband no more than 6 since that is really very ideal for the Coop/Run. Plenty of space! My son is taking the heat for the extra hen.

We will introduce the 2 newest, to the Copper Maran first, then migrate the 3 newer with our remaining RIR over time.
Thanks for all the fun facts, and feedback!
I work from home, homeschool my son, garden...........why not chickens too! Homesteading happiness!

My wife and I homeschooled our children as well, and now our daughter is following in our footsteps with our granddaughter.
