There would be no chickens left, because when they saw the fox kill other chickens they would all run away. So the farmer would have zero chickens left.
He would still have 16 chickens but, some of them would be dead though.
he would have six chickens and two party buckets
Yawn, easiest one all day
that was boring. i think my little sister could have got that one. and she hasnt even been born yet
I hate teasers this easy.
If u hate teasers this easy then y do u all com on-2 da easiest 1's!?

come on..certainly agree with the people! it's so eazy!!! well, anyone ,nice effort!
theres a fine line between easy and too easy this one might be border line
at first i thouht dat da farmer only had 10 chickens left but wen i read the teasr properly i saw it said all BUT six of his chickens. And i would also like 2 say 1 more fing. why is it dat almost every1 always says 'easy' or 'cant u fink of a better one'. i aint gonna lie, even i've said it once or twice but u lot r havin a laugh! everytime i read da comments all im seein is 'eazy' or 'yawn' or 'even my 3 yr old got dis'. if u want a harder 1 go to a harder rated teaser and stop picking on people. n e way, i thought it woz a good teaser and n e 1 who says differently r just hatin!

easy, but you had to understand the context in which it was written, some people have trouble with wording, giv em a break people, and i don't mean physically!!!

That wasn't exactly a trick. Not my favorite Mr. G teaser...
INSANELY EASY
"yawn"-it was sooooooooo easy my 1day old baby cousin figured it out,even my fish,my dog,and my cats and my chicken.But it's in his room looking for foxes
Jacob and Clarkone68 could be right. I think this teaser is a little ambiguous.
Where was the trick?
