This site is incredible and has been a goldmine of information for someone who knew absolutely nothing about raising chickens a month ago. This is so much fun! Now, if I can just find a cure for chicken math before it really hits me bad...

I don't think anyone has found/will find a cure for chicken math...

It's untreatable

Ever heard of "hair of the dog that bit ya?" (The hangover cure: a small tot of booze the morning after you drank a bit too much the night before.)

The cure for chicken addiction is more chickens. Or branching out to ducks... or geese.... or other poultry.

no cure just alot of self restraint which is pretty much not going to happen. we have 12 that are 13 weeks and 4 in the brooder that are 4weeks. chicken math at its best.

You're looking everywhere for room to house more chickens, even in a suburban back yard. Side of the house? Check. Old shed? Check. Garage for the brooder? Check. Corner of the bedroom for an incubator? Check.
