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

[Glutton4...]

I think they breed faster than Waaabits, Petal.

2657 - 1 = 2656

One of the old Batties turned up her toes at the end of last week, and I forgot to put it on here.

RiP Doris (Don't laugh, they're all called Doris!!)

[Falkirk Bairn]

2656 - 1 = 2655

2655 + 3 = 2658

[Boza1970]

2658 + 20 = 2678.

Newbie here, first post, started two years ago with three Warrens on backyard, got bitten by the bug so got two allotments with a mate of mine and last night increased flock from 14 to 20.

Glad to find a forum of fellow enthusiasts :-)

Have lost 4 recently so 2674

Plus hatched out around 50 chicks so far this year 2734

[nick the grief]

well if we're counting ...
2771 with my 37 ...

[petal]

I don't add the chicks Scorpius, as half will be male and only one or two stay for the breeding pen/ shows, so.....adding the keepers: 2771 plus black frizzle pekin girl , 2 black pekin girls, silver laced wyandotte boy, cream thuringian pair, chamois thuringian boy, lakenvelder girlie, 4 lavender pekins = 2783 minus gold brahma boy who is rehomed as not doing brahmas anymore - 2782

[Glutton4...]

I forgot to deduct my ten losses, thanks to Mr.Fox's visit a couple of weeks ago. RiP Ladies.

2782 - 10 = 2772

[RichmondHens]

Sorry to hear it G4.

[Glutton4...]

Cheers, RH. Have just come in from installing two brand new lengths of leccy netting. More expense, I know, but I'd only just replaced my fence energiser last month, and I'm addicted to keeping Chooks now. Even Mr.G went "Aaaawwwww - No, you can't!" when I said I was thinking of giving it all up.

Anyway, I had a quick count up of the contents of my egg money jar, and there's enough to pay for the new fence, and six months food, so what the heck.

And I have a friend who has a friend at a Chook farm, and they're 're-stocking' in next month...

[Glutton4...]

2772 + 6 = 2778

Impulse purchase - Just came home with three Beechwood Blues and three Rhode Rocks.

[Glutton4...]

2778 + 6 = 2784

Impulse purchase. Again! Three Sussex Rangers and three Speckledy this time!

[elizajay]

You are on a roll G4!

[frias]

2784 + 2 = 2786. One Calder Ranger and one Magpie to add to my other 5.

[petal]

keepers from this seasons growers: 3 black pekin hens, 1 chamois thuringian boy, 2 white/cream thuringians, 1 silver laced wyandotte boy, 1 black pekin frizzle hen, 2 white pekin frizzle hens, 1 wierd lavender/lemon pet pekin hen. so 2786 plus 11= 2797

[Glutton4...]

Add another - yes just one! Long story, but she's happy enough as we have plenty of room for her to get out of the way of the rest if they look at her menacingly.

2797 + 1 = 2798
