Default Lets see how many chooks we have.......

Copying this idea offf another forum I visit............it goes like this ..........I have 14 chooks, how many have you got. So if the next poster had 6 he would post 14 + 6 = 20 total, and so it goes on.

Lets see how many collective chooks we take care of on the forum?

OK, I'll start:-

I have 14 chooks!
