Best to get all available.
For real I'd get enough to cover a possible low hatch rate, excessive cockerel hatch rate etc. Easier to get rid of extras then stretch not enough.

16 is the magic number, Chooks

It sure is!

its only 16 though if you want 2 hens from it.
16 eggs set
4 wont be fertile
2 wont hatch
7 will be roosters
1 pullet will die

= 2 hens

That number sounds good in theory, but it doesn't live up to the hype. I bet.

So Mooney, have you done anything interesting lately besides naming roosters after online weirdos? And, from what I can gather, NOT naming house hens after Mare?
