I don’t do chicken math. I only have 3 chickens.
Holy crap. Broody hen chicken math is the best.
I feel like they give extra on purpose knowing well that you can’t just toss the extras out!
Yeah. Last year hubby said 6. I convinced him to keep 8. My son couldn’t choose and we ended up with 10.
This year. Hub said 3 more. I said 4. Son said 5…didn’t tell hub that Mt Healthy usually sends an extra.The rest of our order is claimed by friends/family. But we might accidentally end up w 6 if all arrive safely.
This doesn’t count the hatches I have planned (selling those chicks but still….)
If we had a bigger property I would probably have 100!
Oh man! Toss a fertilized egg out?!?! As someone without a rooster who fertilizes eggs - that is UNTHINKABLE.I feel like they give extra on purpose knowing well that you can’t just toss the extras out!
Haha! I do always peruse the other poultry sections on the website like “maybe in the next five minutes I’ll magically get the infrastructure to have another species…” let’s check…

I’d try to raise it in my boobs before tossing it.
On which subject there are multiple BYC threads… but none of those threads tell me how to get humongous boobs, so…
I’ll be giving away 4, so…Maybe I can put more in the incubator…
did you end up keeping them all? Have any issues selling pullets? My thought process is to sell any extras. But, not sure how easy it is to sell them and I love all my birds lol!
