Chicken math is cute, but it isn’t really practical for everyone. Egg rainbows make pretty pictures….but ya can’t eat an instagram square for breakfast. Sure out here we can own 40 hens and by free ranging or pasturing we are able to limit our costs. That simply isn’t the case for everyone. Maybe you live in an hoa with a cap on hen counts, maybe you don’t need so many eggs, perhaps your budget just doesn’t allow you to own 40 laying hens at a time. That’s okay! Here are some real life suggestions on how to keep it simple, live within the confines of your budget, space, and regulations. Forget about the egg rainbow. We’ve always thought that was silly anyway. Mamaw didn’t care what color her eggs were, you shouldn’t either. Pick a breed based on your weather and needs. Not all hens are meant for the frigid cold winters of way up north and others don’t fare well in Florida. Some lay pretty eggs but only around 100-150 a year versus the not colorful 300 of another. Egg rainbows might make a pretty square but Instagram squares aren’t edible yall. Focus less on the aesthetic and more on the function. Don’t worry about the bragging rights of owning dozens. Instead think practically and purposefully, choose what fits your actual needs. Do nothing for the gram. . . . . . . . #forthegram #chickenmath #chickensofinstagram #layinghens #hens #hensofinstagram #practicalwisdom #wisdom #purposefulliving #purposeful #reallife #folkcore #cottagecore #gardencore #simpliving #slowfashion #simpleandstill #recipes #recipe #f52grams #f52community #easyrecipes #quickrecipes #recipeshare #recipeideas #oldfashionedonpurpose #homesteadmama #homesteadmamas #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmama https://www.instagram.com/p/Cno06Z-uyV6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The main factor that will inform my own judgment when making decisions for individual students is what choice I believe best for each student's growth (again, both academically and personally). The second factor would be reaching out to what their family/guardians believe is best, and the third factor would be what my mentors or other fellow educators believe is best when making judgment calls for a student.
