The CHICKEN MATH Contest- Who has the worst case?

Im Deadly..
started out thinking that 12 hens and one roo would be great number. perfect, wouldnt have to get anymore until those stopped laying, right?
when those chicks were 7 weeks old i bought 8 game bantams and 21 others. so thats 42.
Fox Attack of 2010, took out all but 4 standards and 5 bantams.
One bantam was a girl, the rest were roosters, so we sold 3 guys at a swap and got a golden laced sebright.
that brings us down to 7
at another swap we got these nasty, bald, tiny, licy, mity, wormy chicks that the dude said were just beaten up because of the ride. We got all three for a dollar. long story short, one got wry neck and died, one was so small, had bad crossbeak and died, and one laid an egg. She was still in a tub in our garage becuase we thought she was young, this was only a few weeks after we got hr that she laid an egg. omg lol! (we wre still newbies, first year in this)
8 chickens now
got a 'hen' for $20 STINKIN" DOLLARS. HA! more like Rooster who almost killed my bantam rooster
He was dinner
still 8 chikcens.
lets skip to the end there
i now have 110 chickens
20 in the bator (for the NYD hatch)
and 4 empty coops i plan on filling this year.
:)

Advice: Fill them slowly! :)
 
This thread scares me. We are planning on buying 3 or 4 hens. Does that mean in a couple of years I'll have 70 birds by chicken math?

It probably won't take 2 years.........

I started out with 4. Now I have between 140-160 chickens.

I have moved to a farm to keep the chickens after being told to get rid of them. It wasn't even a rental. I up and sold my house for them. I think I'm going to win this thing. :p

Oh my, we're all just flat certifiable, aren't we?

My husband and I were talking the other day about the not so far off day when we decide we're too old for dealing with all the horses and sell off all but 1 or 2 and decide to sell the ranch. I told him that wherever we move, we had to be able to keep at least a couple of chickens, I'd miss them too much if we had to get rid of all of them. I'm ok with boarding the horses but gotta have them birds!
 
This "contest" doesn't have a prize, end date, or anything like that. Now I have a feeling that sometime in the near future I will have a more extreme case than now...
