LOL-- I have the same problem! We were going to have 5... so I bought only 5 (good girl!) Then 3 months later one goes broody, and my mommy-emotions are too overwhelmed at the sight of her tucking a golf ball in for the night, so I bought her some fertile eggs. Now we have 5 hens, 9 chicks, and ANOTHER hen went broody so I get that one some eggs. They're due in 4 days, and I had to break the 3rd broody because enough is enough! (plus it's 110 here)
So now I have to figure out how many of the (possibly) 15 chicks we're keeping... Ahhhh chicken math.
