Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: three-quarters full. Mathematically inclined chickens: none of us, that’s for sure.
Steve, Brian and I were discussing how many hens one rooster can comfortably handle. Steve made a salient observation and remarked that it very much depended on the PERSONALITY of the rooster, the TEMPERAMENT of the hens and the QUALITY of the environment. Sort of like this, she said:
P (where P = Personality) + T (where T = Temperament) ÷ Q (where Q = Quality)
She spent half the morning trying to get the figures to work but Brian (who was still fuming at her two week old eggs being stolen) and I lost interest and walked off after a while.
