September Hatch-A-Long

[philnj]

Lockdown on Tuesday for me as well started with 12 barnyard mix eggs from a roadside farm $3 for all! removed 1 ringer and I clear 10 remaining look good hope to see pips when I get home! Friday is 21 days
Paid a lot more for shipped eggs zero hatched figured I would try this way!

Sweet deal.

I would bought a few dozen at that price

Alright, I'll answer the questions and you can do the calculations for me how bout

Started with 14

Threw 6 out before day 18

Bought on Ebay

Traveled by mail

And no, they weren't near any dogs.

So where does that put me?

Let me see.....

14 is an even number so you get an additional 20 points.


18 x 6 = 108

Square root of 108 is 10.39 which we will add in later.


Ebay eggs are 47 points just cause they are so hard to hatch..

Mailed eggs is another 2 points per egg 14x2=28


However, because there are no dogs involved you do not get the 30 points for canine contact, sorry.

So he it goes:

Regular math 50%
plus 20
plus 10.39
plus 47
plus 28...


Gives you a chicken math total of 155.39%

Not bad at all!

I do not expect you to get chicken math right off the bat. I am like an Einstein with numbers and it took me 2 months to understand it...

You do not understand Chicken Math!

You can never make a blanket statement like this as if it is a absolute!

How many eggs did you start with?

How many did you throw out before day 18?

What was the source of the eggs?

Did they ever travel by mail? Railcar? Airplane? Commercial truck? Or in a personal vehicle?

Did they ever come within 15 feet of a dog?


These question are irrelevant in common math. In chicken math these are the most important aspects.

I understand your confusion, I use to think like you until I spent 2 months following the hatch-alongs and learned the actual chicken math.

I am thinking you could be anywhere from 90% to 204% roughly.

How many point do you add when you have three dogs (one is a great dane/lab mix), one ferret, three kittens and one cat? All of them come within a couple of feet of the incubator.

We had two more hatch overnight and my DD has just called out to say another is hatching and there are 3 kids' heads in the window so I'm not even bothering!

So up to a total of 5 (or 6) with an unknown quantity of each - they have huddled together and they find the newborn and go to them when they come out of the egg - how cute is that?

How is everyone else going??

I am still learning chicken math too, thank you for this lesson, I am really starting to get it.

I'm on day 19... ( the end of day 19)

I have eggs wiggling and rocking in lock down.
