Oooooo what's chicken math?

 

[jillyNkids]

You weren't aware because you are new

There are many rules to chicken math, for instance if you get a roo (rooster) replace with two (hens). When counting - bantams and chicks only count as 1/2 bird. If you start out with white chickens, it follows you will want other colors to brighten up the landscape. You can add your own rules but, only if it increases the number of birds you have.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/472434/what-is-chicken-math this explains it pretty well.

 

[SAHchickenmom]

Bantams are little chickens, kind of like minis.

 

[jillyNkids]

Are there bantams for every breed or is it kind of its own breed? I saw something about bantam brahmas... Curious bc that's one of the breeds I have

 

[SAHchickenmom]

I think most breeds have a bantam size but I really prefer large fowl.

Hmmmm I wonder what mine will be!
