p. 187. Bill has hatched out 13 new chicks. The guard at the gate estimates she's hatched about 7,000 chicks since moving to Oz.
Assuming equal time between books and story, Bill's been in Oz for about six years. Further assuming that the magic of Oz that keeps people healthy has done the same for her, we can assume she's still able to lay at her prime rate... around 250 a year.
250x6=1500. The other 5500 would have to be grandkids she's hatched. Or numeracy isn't a thing in Oz.

1) a six leaf clover from the Emerald City
2) The left wing of a yellow butterfly from the land of the Winkies
3) Water in a gold bottle from a well that has never seen the light of day

p. 32 Dame Margolotte has made a patchwork girl to be her servant in the house because their home is too remote to lure any willing workers. The quilt is of many colors and belonged to the woman's grandmother. Since then Munchkin land has gotten rather obsessed with blue to the point of food, plants, etc. all being shades of blue. This wasn't the case in #TheWizardOfOz ... although blue was the preferred color for clothing.
The quilt could imply a time earlier where even clothing wasn't exclusively blue or that grandma was isakaied liked Dorothy and her family just many years earlier.

Chapter 2: The Crooked Magician introduces us to the man responsible for the powder of life that Mombi used to bring Jack Pumpkinhead to life, and later Tip used to bring the Sawhorse and Gump to life. In #TheMarvelousLandOfOz the powder is already illegal and sold on the Ozian black market. Dr. Pipt the self proclaimed Crooked Magician is cock sure enough to make the stuff in the presence of his guests, Unc and Ojo. (p. 28)

Chapter 1: Ojo and Unk Nunkie (who in the text is rendered as Unc not Unk): Although the previous book stated that Oz has no need of money nor of jobs, poverty still exists. Here is a small family with bare cupboards and only one fruit (bread) producing tree. Ojo calls their situation poverty but Unc argues it isn't because they have a house and bread.

In June we're reading The Patchwork Girl of Oz (1913). It's the second book to be exclusively in Oz and comes three years after Baum announced that the borders to Oz were closed.
