Total through post # 395

8,494

Methodology:
I went back to the very first post and added them all up.
  • I added all birds for which a count was given (chickens and ducks)
  • I added up when a poster simply listed theirs rather than give a total
  • I ignored follow up posts ("this is so messed up!") unless they added to the total ("I forgot to count the 6 hens")
  • I ignored double posts
I tallied at every 50 posts to make sure my numbers were correct (well, as correct as they can be).

Good shot at it adcgroup. I think it's just a chicken census from what the first post said, though a few ducks and guinea fowl seem to have slipped through, but not many. Maybe a future census would have us putting in our numbers directly to a count without trying to total it up (WAY too many mistakes). I hope your count is seen as the checkpoint from which someone will continue on a reliable add-on later rather than everyone trying to do a running total. It just doesn't work.
 
36 for me.


6 Easter Eggers
4 Silver Laced Wyandottes
4 Golden Cuckoo Marans
2 Buckeyes
4 Welsummers
2 Barred Rocks
1 Blue Andalusian
3 Buff Orpingtons
3 Black Australorps
3 Light Brahmas
1 Buff Brahma
3 Speckled Sussex

8562 + 36 = 8598 (plus the 23 from the last post) brings the total to 8,621

17 total. 15 Cinnamon Queens hens, 1 Black Silkie Bantam hen, 1 Blue Silkie Bantam Hen. No pictures on BYC right now. Used to have some but none for a while. I live in the village and will be posting some once my new pen is built.
