So, Chicken Math Is A Real Thing!?!

I started with 10. Then 16. And now I have 45 (and a dozen roosters)

Careful, if you don't get a good chicken math tutor, you'll end up like me where multiple coops + interesting breeds = more than 2 dozen roosters

Sound like where I might end up as well. Lol

Or you could do like me, where you order both females and males of a breed, knowing the cockerels will go nicely in your freezer about the time the pullets start to lay. I have found by doing this that the nursery NEVER sends me cockerels by mistake, as happens if I order pullets only. Very strange, I always get exactly what I order. (I do separate the genders at about ten weeks.) I have also ordered pullets of one breed and cockerels of another with good results.
