I would like to welcome you to my near daily experiences of chickens in the life of Paul.
To date we have purchased 35 day old chickens and the count as of today stands . . .
12 - Eaten by neighborhood dogs
5 - Butchered after a maniac rooster went crazy and pecked me causing a fury of feathers. We ate Chicken and Dumplins for 3 days!!!
17 - Still alive and kick'n. However, after 30 weeks we are only getting 3 eggs a day...sometimes 4, but I am hoping it picks up soon. If not, we will be having Chicken Dumplings again real soon.
And if you are doing the math, yes, you are correct, that leaves 1. One little ole chicken that, well, I'm not sure where it went. And to be honest I am not even sure if it was a rooster or a hen. That discussion of monumental proportions is a whole other topic (hens and hims(ha ha, I made myself laugh. Get used to it, happens often.))
