So I will take the Silkies out of the Bantom Boutique move them into the coop that I will place in my spice garden and then replace them with the Cochin Frizzles in the Bantom Boutique. Since he is the only cochin on my farm here, I wanted to get some his breed girls. He was supposed to be a White Crested Polish Male. If you remember, Enigma was a little hatchery mix-up last year. The Black Cochin Frizzles will make a great addition to the Bantom Boutique. They will be the perfect addition to that garden. That means that will at most turn the mulch and keep the bugs away in my spice garden. Since Silkies have feathers on the feet they are not as destructive as the non-feathered footed breeds. They will then roam the spice garden and tend that garden for me. I want to eventually get all the Silkies into a coop of their own. In the Bantom Botique I plan to integrate the 4 Bantom Cochin Frizzles with Enigma and the While Crested Polish Girls. I plan to house all the Silkies in this coop. What am I going to do with all these chicks you may be asking? Well, I plan to add another chicken coop and place it in the spice garden with Roy’s Roost and Betsy’s Bliss. Ordering chicks is so much fun and the method of Chicken Math makes it possible. I cannot wait for my peeping package to arrive at my local post office and start the adventure all over again. I have chosen the hatch date of May 7, so that means by May 8th or 9th I will be a chick mama again. Even so, I ended up with quite a list for next year. I wanted to get another White Crested Polish but I was too late and they were all gone. We are so excited!! Here is rap sheet for next year’s chicks.Ģ Bantom Black Silkies (1 male and 1 female)ģ Bantom Buff Silkies (1 Male and 2 Females)
What am I doing in particular? I am going through all the available breeds, trying to decide which breeds I want to bring to the Kuntry Klucker Farm next spring.Īfter much thought, debating with myself, and running the numbers of chicken math again and again, I have decided to order 9 new chicks for next year. So instead of rushing to the stores like most red blooded American’s, I am at home down with the chicken math bug.
So according to chicken math I don’t have enough and onto ordering I go. Using the concept of Chicken Math that would be about 10 chickens, I have more than enough room for more. Let’s see, I have 9 or so big girls in the Kuntry Klucker and I guess, 8 or so in the Bantom Botique. There are only a few being hatched so you have to make sure that your order goes through, first and fast!Īnyway, back to the chicken math. If you are into rare breeds this intensity is even worse. If you thought that black Friday lines were an intense crowd, you have not seen chicken owners sitting by the computers anxiously waiting for the stroke of midnight to order chicks. We chicken owners are trying to beat the rush for ordering chicks for the next spring. While most people are out buying a turkey and the trimmings for a Thanksgiving dinner or staking out their prey in the form of stores for black Friday deals. It’s a rather contagious bug, especially around Thanksgiving. It’s an approximate number of chickens that we might have minus a few. You see we don’t want to admit how many chickens we have because then we would realize that we have too many.
#CHICKEN MATH DEFINITION PLUS#
We say, “2 chickens plus 4 chickens that would be about 3 chickens or so”.
Not so for us chicken owners as we count our chickens. If you see 1 + 1 you will automatically say well that equals two. You see no real method of counting works when it comes to chickens. You see as chicken keepers we do not count our chickens like most normal people would count jelly beans, change, or marbles. Now, for readers not familiar with the chicken math plague, allow me to describe the depths of this hypnotic illness. The dreaded bug of chicken MATH!!! That is right, I have been stuck with the chicken math bug. Hello fellow peeps! Sorry, it’s been a while since I posted here, but I have been down with a bug that fellow chicken keepers are well aware of.
