It's hard to keep track and some never tell but just out of curiosity I thought(using the word loosely) if we just posted numbers of the total peas we own. I know the numbers changes yearly-or even monthly for some larger breeders but for us backyarders I'm curious.
Just 3 separate numbers,,
1) Total number of breeding aged birds,(born before 2011)
2) Total number of coming 2yr olds (2012 hatched) you will be using this year to breed for their first time
3) 2013 hatched peas you have or plan to keep for breeding.

Mine is
1)51
2)22
3)54- possibly keeping 26 to breed with in 2015

3) 12, possibly keeping 8, may have done this wrong? We hatched 45, kept 12, and may sell 4 more. We also have 1 we kept from 2012, but we will not be using him for breeding yet. So right now, a grand total of 37.

2) 6, four hens, two boys. Not sure if I will use the hens for breeding this year.
3) 25 (I think) from 2013, most need to be sold.
4) Also have 2 from 2011 (feedstore rescues)
 
1)34
2)10
3)0

plus 3 or 4 new acquisitions arriving in March, only 1 which will be of breeding age.
 
1. 32 for 2014 down from 49 in 2013. Will be losing 6 more prior to spring.
2. 6
3. Hatched 183, kept 4, remainder sold or traded.

I have imposed a ten pen limit for breeders at the farm with one single 50' x 50' adult holding pen. We have sold or traded all of our straight, pied or white IB and spalding birds as well as our midnights and purples. Going to focus on my favorite colors and a few crosses. Also going to focus on increasing the spalding percentages in a couple of colors.
 
1.) 2
2.) 0
3.) 1

I have a pair of india blues who went through their first breeding season last summer. Hatched about 8 chicks from them, 3 of which came out white. I had no clue they were split for white. Of course I had to keep one of the white chicks (I've always wanted white peafowl) and I gave the rest of the chicks to a friends petting zoo down the street.

Really hoping my white bird turns out to be a hen so I'll have a trio
