Of the 14 chicks that have hatched over the last 2 days I'm only keeping 1. The others were booked before they hatched! (yea yeah, I know I'm not supposed to do that)

And just because I want 4 more cages to keep my show birds separate and clean doesn't seem obsessive to me. I love my little eye-candy bantams!!!

Just had to vent. I'm grateful to know I am not alone frow


Sounds like my dad...

We don't have a garage so my chicks are in my bathroom (I clean the brooders alot so they don't smell but the dust!!!! barnie )

Hubby hasn't finished the shed/coop. Took 3 years to start, it's been 1/2 done (and not touched) since last June. So I bought a completed shed from the high school (construction class) and it will delivered today or tomorrow fl  It'll be so nice for them to have more room to stretch thier wings and run around.

DH told me last night that he's already picked a spot for me to put my poultry shed. He's not going to help me build it, though. He wants me to buy one and have it delivered. I think he believes that will slow me down for a while. 

I got my new quad of lavender blue d'Uccles yesterday. They are really cute and have some good potential. They are clearly a little freaked out about their new home. I'm hoping we have enough sunshine for them to play outside for a little while this afternoon. They need some fresh grass and bug chasing!

I don't think DH believes me when I say I have a potential buyer for the 4 millie babes I hatched. He doesn't understand that I'm kind of bummed that I DO have a potential buyer. I think they are all pullets and I'd love to add them to my millie flock. I'm only selling them to make HIM lighten up!

Boyd, I cleared 9 birds from the garage, but then had to put my new blues in there. As soon as it stops raining I'll move them!
He'll have his garage back soon. He's had a shed all along, though, too!!!

It really is nice to hear from others who are all in the same boat. hugs

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well-preserved body. but rather, to skid in sideways, totally worn out and exhausted while shouting loudly "WOW! What a ride!"

My DH is a retired Army Sargeant. The thought that he doesn't rule his roost ruffles his feathers terribly. He even dislikes my compromises because he feels he's the one who has to give the most in every compromise.
And then I remind him that he can go back to the lonely boring life he lived before we got married. He ruled his roost then. There were no unexpected surprises. No cats, kids, chickens or spouse making messes and complicating his life and his rules.

I think that's what aggravates him the most sometimes. He bought into the idea of my 'trainwreck' existence (his term for it) when we got married 3 years ago. But I think secretly he thought he could change me and the girls, and mold us into 'better' people. He never expected that we were dedicated to being ourselves and that he might be the one to have to change and adapt...

I love him in spite of his flaws.
And I admit that he is often a voice of reason amongst mass chaos.

That's why I gotta find me a shed!!!!
