How Many Chickens Are by the Farm Fence? Answer

Did you get it right?

This farm-yard puzzle asks you to count every physical chicken and chick around the feed pan, tall grass, apple crate, hay bales, barn door, and fence posts.

The Answer

The correct answer is: The intended answer is 19 chickens and chicks..

Here is why

  1. Count the open chickens in the yard first.
  2. Add the smaller chicks and partly hidden birds in the tall grass.
  3. Then check the apple crate, hay bales, barn doorway, and fence-post areas.
  4. Do not count shadows, painted signs, or background marks. The intended total is 19.

Why people miss it

Most people count the big birds first and stop early. The small chicks and partly hidden birds around the grass and crate make the total higher.
