Default Average formula where blank cells are counted as zeros

If you know the range, you could do the division yourself:

=sum(a1:a6)/6

But this would include other non-numeric cells in the count of cells (6), too.

I am trying to write an average formula that takes into account the blank
cells.

I had only cells A2, A4, A6 filled out, but when I do =average(A1:A6), it is
not treating the blanks as zeros so the answer is much higher than it should
be.

Should I do a logic formula within the cells?
