22404+4= 22408

got 4 more RIR pullets the other day and forgot to add them in addition to ones I'd already gotten
 
8 Rhode Island Reds, 4 Ameracaunas, 3 White Leghorns, 2 barred rocks, 2 Asian Blues, and one Black Copper Maran/Ameracauna.

In total I have 20 so 20+556= 576

Eventually hoping to add guineafowl, peafowl, and ducks to my flock as well.

A little confused because one post said 22408 and the next said 576... going with the 22408.
I have 9 in my permanent flock: 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Speckled Sussex, 3 Gold Laced Wyandotte pullets, 1 White Leghorn hen (in lay), and 1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Cockrell.
(And 18 Gold Laced Wyandotte Cockrells for meat They won't be around that long, so I won't count them...)
Which brings our total to...
22,417
 
We have...
2 RIR
4 RIR/Leghorn
10 Easter Eggers
6 Black Copper Marans
2 Black Australorp
10 Black Sex Link
4 White Leghorn
1 Silver Laced Wyandotte (aka Meanie!)

Total 22,456
 
I apparently neglected to add 2 new 'White Star' laying hybrids acquired April 2016. One was just killed by a fox so just one to add... RIP Dot: best chicken I've had. Chatty, inquisitive, tolerant and perky. She'd just recovered from an impacted gizzard (goosegrass seed probably) and was raring for life. I miss her.

22,456 +1 = 22,457
 
NEW TOTAL: 22,494.
I have 15 Buff Orpington hens+ 1 Buff Orpington rooster, 20 Rhode Island Red hens+ 1 Rhode Island Red rooster, 1 Easter egger cross ( not sure if it's a hen or a rooster).
I do have to say only the EE cross and BO rooster is technically mine but I tend to the others also. All on same property and share same coop.
 
22,494+40 = 22,534
6 SLW
2Brown leghorns
2 olive eggers
3 easter eggers
2 lavender orpingtons
5 BCM
6 bantam cochins
