*PLEASE TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!*
I heard the phrase "CHICKEN MATH" when I first got some chicks back in March. Since then I added 4 more & just purchased 2 chicks today.
I am in the process of building a nice big coop so I am prepared if I end up getting anymore
Which I probably will. Haha
Today I got myself a 2 day old Ayam Cemani & Hmong. SUPER EXCITED to have little chicks again. I find it really fun getting them from such little guys & raising them up opposed to bringing in adult hens.
My experience It just didn't work out for me so I rehomed my 2 rescues today to a beautiful farm where they have plenty of room to roam and a ton of other hens to be with. It was the best decision for them cus they came from a home where they never got held or barely even saw the owner but they were able to free range in a really big area with woods and everything so I felt as if they just weren't fitting in well here & that they needed to go somewhere where they can be super free. If that's even a thing. Lol I just wanted them to be happy & I also had to think about the well being of my girls cus my chickens are my BABIES & they were being bullied by them a little bit, probably due to boredom, idk! I feel bad but at the same time I know they are happier where they are now. And now I can get my flock back in order.
But yeah... chicken math...I only wanted 4 chickens and I ended up with 8, & will probably get more......
So plan for double (or triple) what you originally planned for cus they are SO MUCH FUN! They have their own little personalities & I absolutely love owning chickens. They are great entertainment thats for sure.
