Lets see how many chooks we have.......

[polo]

2527-5 = 2522

Five growers off to their new home at a lovely big smallholding near me. Happy and sad at the same time .

[frias]

2522 + 2 = 2524

Daisy an Amber Link and Dahlia a Rhode Rock.

[chris]

2524 + 5 = 2529

[kathyd]

2529 + 2 = 2531. Two little araucana chicks :

[Nicos]

2531 + 2 little banties

Total......2533

[nellie-m]

very sorry to report that Mrs Fluffy, winner of the Fluffy Bum contest last year, passed away, together with three elderly Sicilians (post mortem showed an inflammation of the intestines that hadn't responded to our antibiotics - interestingly none of the banties got it)

So that's
2533 - 4 + 32 little banties
(22 of which were hatched and raised together by two broodies who decided to set on the same day, very cute!)

Total... 2561

[julesapple]

2561 - 12 of our Fifty Shades of Grey (we're keeping two, Margaux and Rosie) all sold last week.

total: 2549

[Nicos]

Minus one 3week old chick. Looks like one of the big hens may have accidentally trodden on it at bedtime.

total = 2548

[pdblake]

Plus 6 warrens = 2554

[jessmorris]

Plus one gorgeous young Russian Orloff cockerel....= 2555.

[TinkleCottage]

Plus 34 quails, 5 brahma chicks, 1 black rock, 1 speckledy and 1 costwold legbar x... = 2597

[jessmorris]

Hello Tinkle, you are near me! (About the only person who is aside from Its Hilly and OverWyre Grower). Another chicken fiend in the frozen north - hellooooooooooo!

[bearded bloke]

Minus 1 = 2596 (Colonel Sanders died in the night)

[petal]

We lost grandma, an elderly silver laced wyandotte bantam- who helped found our wyandotte pen. she had been a bit quiet the past week. 2595
however, we have decided to keep( out of growers- i never bother recording them here!) the best 2 gold brahma females, 1 faverolle, 1 black pekin hen- so 2599

[jessmorris]

2599 minus my last Barbu d'Uccle = 2598.
