Update: so this week I found out that our local Fleet Farm is selling chicks this year. I texted my husband showing the cute little things… Turns out he KNEW about them and didn’t TELL me!!! So to punish him I let him think that I was bringing some home. (Even though I didn’t at the time….I’m...

Well if she is near the end you’d better make sure she has a couple extra eggs to sit on just in case they are the last chicks she’ll hatch. (This is often a very overlooked calculation in chicken calculus)

It depends on where you go. Tsc requires 4 minimum- I think they are in on the whole chicken math conspiracy

Ah yes, the wormhole phenomenon, we had that briefly but ours dropped off goats. Had to quickly block that though as I found out I’m allergic. And Goat knows I’m allergic and resents me for it as if I had anything to do with it!

Purple leg bad is a perfectly acceptable name for a bird! My very first chickens were named things like Big Bird, Little Bird, Red bird, Yellow Bird, etc. and honestly they were the easiest of all the birds I’ve had to remember who was who. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I believe the key word here is EXPECTED. Might want to think about adding a few just to make sure you get what you are looking for. Ok I know I’m an enabler- I’m working on it, I promise.

I saw that the local humane society had a pair of ducks and a pair of day old chicks get turned in today and man how I wished I had been there to snatch them!😆

Yay! How exciting. I do like to have the Roos around, (at least one). It’s so comical to see him race across the yard when someone starts singing the egg song!

Thankfully the bugs are not quite that bad at my place…it might have to do with the fact that I have convinced neighbors to have their own natural pest control units installed…

Yep. Definitely time to set more eggs! And chicken math does get exponentially more complicated when you factor in hatching your own! The formula I used for hatching my own went something like this: I want 3 hens, if I incubate I might have up to a 50% loss rate, so I need to set at least 6...

You are silly! It takes the exact same amount of time to care for 7 chickens as it does to care for 14 chickens! 😆

lol. My very first time getting chickens is where I learned that 1=2, and I blame my husband for putting that idea in my head. I don’t think he knew the monster he was creating when he said “we should get some chickens to run around in the woods to eat bugs/ticks”

Yeah, I didn’t see any marans in their bin, but I was already there and looking for a long time so I HAD to leave with something!😆

You guys should be so proud of me! I did not go to the store at 7:00 this morning. I waited until 10:00!😆 oops🤷🏻‍♀️ Ok I’m really done now. No more chicks this year.

😬I ordered 20 chicks that arrived 2/28. 20 was more than I wanted but due to shipping minimums that’s what I ended up with. So to be responsible I sold a few to my neighbor(this was agreed upon at time of order) and then after that had a coworker purchase some. Well chicken math hit my coworker...
