Poll: How many chickens do you have?

[Josh L.]

Ive got 16 currently (one adult roo, one juviline roo, and two little Cornish X cockerels, the other 12 are hens/pullets), hoping to add at least ten with the current 15 eggs in the incubator.

I am always curious of people's flock sizes! On average - how many chickens do you keep?

Comment down below about your number of roosters vs hens!

Comment down below on how many meat birds you cycle through in a given year!

Are you actively seeking to increase or reduce your number?

inquiring minds want to know!

I have between 100-200 bantams. I want to increase on the breeds I breed, but right now I need a better setu and Try to get the barred s I have one or two of. I also need to find more coop. I don't butcher my chickens but I'm going to be raising Cornish crosses, to sell chicks and hatching eggs from them.

I have zero. Planning on changing that this year. (I do have 5 heritage turkeys though.)

I always think about getting a big tom turkey for entertainment, but he wouldn't fit through my coop door! lol.

WOW! That's a lot of chickens! How many are roos?

I have 12 total. 7 pullets that are 10 months old and 5 (hopefully pullets) that are 3.5 months old. All in one coop. No roosters allowed. In my dream world, I would be increasing my flock and having roosters and letting them go broody and all the happy chicken things. In my real world, I live in the suburbs and I already have a larger coop and more birds than what is allowed.

It's also very likely that he would seriously injure of kill your hens trying to breed them. (This is my pencilled blue palm jake.)

10 ex batts. For a week or two they were scared, shy and reclusive - I would have to pick them up to put them to bed ..... After that they turned into mini-velociraptors ...

DO NOT stand between an ex batt and her corn on the cobb!

Thank you. And you're welcome. Many people don't. They also treat them like dogs with feathers, then are surprised when the bird attacks them because he has no respect/fear.
