As I read each rule, I mentally tried calculating the number of chickens I currently have (current flock consists of 19 different breeds & 7+ colors of eggs (more than 7 if spots make them a different color!) and my head was starting to spin trying to figure out which really counted… but then I got to the naming rule and realized I only have 1 chicken since all are named! Whew! I loved this article! Great job! 🥳😂🤪🥰🙌🏼

I absolutely love this! So entertaining and a neat idea!
Haha! I thought I had a nine chicken flock, but I guess I have a zero chicken flock. Time to get some more chickens...hehehehe...

Remember the golden rule... you always have at least ONE chicken or people think you are crazy!
Best of class !😂 I thoroughly enjoyed this class ! A class act ! Thank you from one Mama hen , lol 🐔🐣🍗🐓
Having been doing this math for many years years with people, I am thrilled to find a full set of lecture notes complete with examples. Much kudos and many blessings to the chooky professor, may their flock never increase by official numbers, only visually grow by feathered bodies seen and buckbucks heard!

Sending the best from Australia.

You did review #101 on Chicken Math 101! That wins you ENDLESS CHICKENS FOR LIFE. Congratulations. I have already talked to your Hens and they will be glad to raise any and all chicks you bring home- and NONE of them count towards your flock. Enjoy! :)
Excellent article on how chicken math works. SO much easier to understand than your typical math.
Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 especially explaining to hubby!
I love the math and the proofs! Ridiculously hilarious! Someone had an awfully lot of time on their hands to come up with all this.

A labor of love. ;)
Brilliantly explained!!!! 🤣😂🥰
Hilarious!
My partner and I had a good laugh over this article at lunch today. It really brightened our day, and we especially loved all the diagrammed mathematical proofs! Thanks so much for some much needed and well thought out chicken humor today!
I literally laughed out loud. Love this!
Very good information. Just today I was gifted 7 chicks so I have 0 in my flock. I can get more! 🤪
This is the BEST. Made me laugh all the way through and reminded me of the dieter who's calories do and don't count depending on whether you ate the brownie out of the box or sitting down LOL
This greatly enhanced my understanding of rounding whole numbers. Bravo to the author.
Love it!
I know this is just for fun, but in case anyone else was frustrated by missing question 6, the answer should be 9. The first Bantam should be counted as zero!

Dear me, I fear you are right. Those bantams are just so small sometimes they sneak under the radar. I think any time you find an error in a university-level exam such as this, that you should be awarded "free chickens for life". Please work with your husband to redeem your award. If he argues, tell him everyone on BYC agrees with me and he is automatically outvoted.
I love this! No one else seems to understand my accounting, and now I know why - they just haven’t been taught chicken math!!

The struggle is real 🥰
This is absolutely true!! 😜
I'd never heard about "Chicken Math" before I found this awesome place. I'm familiar with the idea, though. Ahem. So, I took my kiddo and my partner's kiddo along, to "buy a few new chicks"
Yep. Each additional chick was a "can't live without!!" I'd planned on about 8-9, we ended up with 40+ 🙄
That went.....well. Yep.
