Backyard Fowl Keepers

I started with 5 chickens as a gift from my neighbor. He didnt want the rooster, so he handed over the whole flock. Now, somehow, I have 14 chickens! I wont go into all their stories, but lets just say... chicken math is real!

It happens so fastjust a few more here, a couple more there, and suddenly, the coop is full.

How did your flock start, and where is it now?

Lets hear your chicken math stories!

Same here! One rescue turned into a full-blown addiction. No regrets!

I blame the feed store. I went for supplies and left with 5 more chicks!

I told myself, Just a few chickens for fresh eggs. Fast forward a year, and my backyard is basically a chicken village. Between hatching some, rescuing a few, and getting suckered in by feed store chicks, Im officially outnumbered. But honestly? I wouldnt change a thing!

Chicken math got me too! My husband stopped asking how many we have.

I got into chickens for the eggs. Now I have 10 and still buy eggs.

My plan was 6 hens... then I found a sale on chicks. Now I have 18. Oops!

Every time I say, "No more chickens," I somehow end up with more.

Yep, started small, now I'm building a second coop. It sneaks up on you!

You think you're in control... until you see baby chicks at the farm store.
