What do you mean?

Hah Hah! What is chicken math? Here’s a good example. This all began this spring. I decided to get back into chickens so I built a chicken tractor and run for 8 chickens. Bought +8 speckled Sussex, -3 arrived dead, still want at least eight so I buy +4 white Leghorns, one ends up being a rooster, CRAP!, had to rescue +1 Jersey Giant, +1 Campine, +1 Leghorn, +1 Barred Rock, my run wasn’t ready yet but would be in about two days, I thought they’d be OK for two days, wrong. Two dogs broke into the run and killed my -1 Campine, -2 SS, went to the feed store bought +1 Production Blue and +1 Easter Egger, decided now my tractor is too small and began to convert a 10x10 tool shed to a coop. Hmm, too much space, I could use some more chickens. Bought +3 French black copper Marans, +3 EEs, decided I really like EEs and if I get an EE rooster I could make Olive Eggers with my FBCM and EEs so I bought +7 EE pullets and +1 EE cockerel, -2 sick EE chicks died so I buy +2 more EE chicks. I will soon have three separate coops to house the chickens plus room for a few more.
That’s chicken math! And, if my daughters don’t start using their trampoline soon, I’m already thinking how to convert that to a coop.

I live in CO now, but I am a born and raised Olympia girl. So drink some Starbucks for me, coffee ain't the same here. Haha. The rain won't bother your chickens as long as they have a coop to stay dry in if they so choose.

Sealer, if no one is using your trampoline - time for you to get some goats. They will absolutely love it.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens - sorry I strayed off the path. Maybe because I haven't eaten anything yet today. Think I better take a lunch break (4:47 pm)

You will be wanting to add more chickens to the ones you already have. Chicken math.

Hahaha oh sheesh that happened within days!

Tbh - I prefer Dunkin Donuts drip coffee. So much so that I use the little kurigs!
