I got 3 chicken will you three eggs in 3 days, x2 because you have 6 chickens, so 12.
When you put it your way it's really simple math....
This isn't right though - 3 chickens will get you 6 eggs in 3 days (2 times as many chickens, 2 times as many days).
Or: If 1.5 chickens lays 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days -> 1 chicken lays 1 egg in 1.5 days -> 1 chicken lays 2/3 of an egg in 1 day 6 chickens * 6 days * 2/3 of an egg = 24 eggs.

If I have half a chicken laying half an egg every 1.5 days I'm gonna have no eggs at the end of 6 days because the health agencies will get me shut down.
