I think you can do it as follows:

in yr controller:

@count = [model_to_be_queried].find(:all, [“field_name = ?”,
value]).size

and then use <%=h @count %> in your view

So for all records in your chicken table with 10 eggs

@count = Chicken.find(:all, [“eggs = ?”, 10]).size

If you only want the number of records it will be a lot faster to use
count rather than find as AR won’t have to instantiate all the
objects.

Person.count :conditions => [‘age = ?’, 29]

Controller

@cheese_number = Cheese.count(:conditions => “colour = ‘red’”)

View

<%= @cheese_numer %>
