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

[janzbro]

I have 8 at the mo but got the bug now and Im getting another dozen in July from a free range farm.

All ginger ranger hybrids.

[bearded bloke]

Carried over .. 3195 + janzbro's 8 = 3203

[Andiwiddow]

i have added 2 more hens to my flock they are Rhode Island Red x Sussex
3203 + 2 = 3205 (easy maths lol )

[veggiechicken]

3205 - 1 (Wilma, who went to the great chicken coop in the sky)
= 3204 + 3 (A Bluebell, Black Rock and a Warren )

= 3207

[glyn]

can i count my new chicks ? im a daddy yeaaaayyyyyyy if i can its 29 and if not its 21 !

[Nicos]

so....3207 + 29 ( yep you can glyn! ) = 3236


but.....sadly I lost one of mine this morning

= 3234

[dogsbody]

Foxed so minus 1 = 3233

Time to reflect and refurbish before I re-stock.

[elizajay]

Sad. It's horrible when that happens.

[Nicos]

Just lost another one this morning.
Not a particularly old gal like the last one, but this one has had gout for a while ( build up of uric acid crystals in all the joints of her feet), and whilst we'd tried to change her diet it just got much worse whilst we were away.
The others had started turning on her too poor thing.
Looks like it was a metabolic thing as all the others are fine.
Very sad cos she was a very gentle gal and had the most beautiful dark brown eyes.Awwww.
Bye bye Beyonce II

3233 -1 = 3232

[Floyd]

Haven't updated my additions for a while.

Was given 3 Cream legbars some months ago and last week had 3 RIR's and a Speckled Sussex hatch in the incubator taking my personal tally to 17 and the group tally up a tad.

3232+7=3239.

[pandasyard]

3239+3=3242

Probably have 10/15 more in a few months......

[Glutton4...]

I lost a Speckledy today. I was only thinking the other day that I hadn't lost one for ages.

[Nicos]

And another one today.

Clearly had dropped dead off the perch. OH found her this morning in the belly flop position on the floor under the perch.
One of my original 6 - just got the 2 boys left of the the original gang.

Aw...poor Alice ( aged 7 or 8??) 'suppose it's a good way to go then.

with G4's and mine out of the count....total = 3240


BUT...forgot to add my 2 chicks which hatched a few weeks ago...so that brings it up to 3242 again.

[veggiechicken]

Mrs Grey left for the great hen house in the sky last week so that's another one down

= 3241

[frias]

Minus 1 =3240. Daisy PTS as she had egg peritonitis.
