It's what we chicken owners do to make it seem we have less chickens than we actually have, so we can get more.

IE: each breed is only 1 chicken, etc.

[raymondjames]

how?

I'd still have 9, because I have so many breeds. They say silkies don't count though

I'm working on my chicken math also.

4 chicks
+ 2 dogs
= 4 dead chicks

+ 1 month
+ 4 more chicks
- 1 dog (sent her to the pound for trying to eat my turtle, and she was the one that chomped my other chickies)
- 2 roosters in freezer camp
= 2 hens

+ 1 week
+ DIY incubator from an old cooler chest
= setting eggs as soon as I get my temps stable!

Now with an incubator at home, I think I'll start using the "x" function of chicken math.....

1 incubator X 6 eggs, or should I make it 8 or 9, maybe just a cool dozen eggs. Maybe I could add another layer in my incubator and have TWO DOZEN..... Chicken math strikes again!
