Griffin Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I was talking to a friend tonight at work and he asked how many chickens I have. The last time I figured it out in my head I had 41, or so I thought. I kept thinking that 41 seemed rather a lot, it didn't look like I had that many outside, so I wondered where could they all be. I then decided to actually write a list of all their names for the first time and I'm pleased to announce that it's only 37 afterall I've been over the list over and over again and I'm sure I haven't missed anybody off I'll double check by doing a head count tomorrow morning when I let them out So even though there are eggs in the incy I don't think me and DEFRA will be having a chat any time soon. 4 are off to pastures new soon and a few are ready for the freezer. Only 37 Who would've thought 4 would've made such a difference 41 sounds a lot. I feel very pleased with myself for being less addicted than I thought I was but slightly ashamed I can't count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 If you listen to Em (Palmer07) that means you can have 16 bantams, no questions asked, based on the chicken maths 4 bantam to 1 hybrid ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
