this can't be accurate. According to the numbers posted there are 16,000 members and 21,656 chickens.... Thats only 1.4 birds a person per member..... I've got 18 myself!
Not to mention that this post is only number 908, which means that less that 908 people have 21,000 chickens when you subtract the amount of chatty replies...
Many folks sign up to be a member and then never post.
Some sign up and don't come back.
Some folks want to keep things private.
We estimated once that if we averaged out the numbers for those who have actually posted numbers we'd have over 100,000 chickens. Just a small part of the billion or so on the planet, but ours are loved and well taken care of.
