Do you dare venture chicken math?
Dare start a drug that can never be stopped? If you dare, then read along, or else shield your eyes.
Your coop holds 15 hens. Do you ever have to keep them in it 24/7? Can you add an extra roost?
If so, you just added 5-10 more chickens.
Roosters don't count.
Hens who don't lay count.
Chicks don't count.
Have 20 laying hens, 4 hens who aren't laying, and 2 Roos? You own 20 chickens.
This is called chicken math.
Buy 200 chicks? Nope, still have 20 chickens. Ducks don't count unless they're laying. Either.
If your hens aren't laying, or very sparsely, you don't own chickens.
If your max is 15, then get 15 ! Can you own 20? Then get 20
But only laying hens count. If they aren't laying regularly. They don't count.
This may not make sense now, but once you start getting chicks,....
