There are 61 horses and 10 chickens on the farm.

50 horses and 10 chickens
There are 42 chickens in the farm.
85 chickens
If all were horses there would be 428 legs. The shortfall of 36 legs represents 18 chickens so there are 89 horses.
If all the animals were horses there would be 360 legs. There is a shortfall of 23 which means 23 cows and therefore 67 horses.
51 horses of which there are 3 cows with 2 heads and three legs or since there are no 3 legged cows there are 60 horses
There are 51 horses and 14 sheep (51*4)+(14*3)=246 51+14=65
If all animals were horses there would be 4 x 59 ie 236 legs. There is a shortage of 25 legs so there are 25 cows (and 34 horses).
