My wife and I just had that "We need to talk"conversation...

[Wormhunter]

It kind of stopped me dead in my tracks. When I realized that our communication should have been better, and sometimes you just don't see the signs.The every day come and go , the routine, the chores and paying bills; sometimes things go stale and then when you least expect it,
BOOM it's all clear....
An epiphany...
An internal conflict quickly turns into conscience of clarity... that you see what the road ahead needs to be and how to get there...and that action that has to be taken...
I took the bull by the horns as always, and my wife and I, sat down and had
"the talk"...

I sat her down explained to her; outlined the situation, expressed my disappointment in the things I pointed out and I asked her about her disappointments as I was sure she had her share of them as well. As we spoke I could feel within her as well as inside of me a "come to reality" moment, a calmness if you will... a serene sense of wellness, that we are both at peace with this decision and now we can move forward in our paths and with where ever life takes us.
So there we were, strong in both our decisions, knowing that our plans and future were now in OUR hands...

We agreed that moving forward,
in order to meet our goals and plans and to try to avoid this same mistake again...






that we needed to order more chicks this spring to have enough for her to have enough egg layers and me to cover my breeding projects... So we planned on more breeding pens and went online and ordered chicks for shipment in the spring.


Did you guys think this was going to be a different type of post??

Absolutely not! Chicken Math is serious matter. If not approached rationally, it can quickly become an out-of-control disease. You are both extremely wise to plan for that ahead of time. However, you must be vigilant. CM is insidious and persistent. It lurks in strange recesses ... like feed stores and TSC, just waiting to rear its ugly head again. You have NOT seen the last of it ...
Be strong! Build BIGGER!

Nothing but the truth

I didn't know black leghorns were a thing. Just today I've seen them mentioned twice. So much prettier then the whites and browns..
Thanks for posting those pics.

Check out @The Moonshiner's thread. Leghorns come in all kinds of colors. Soon Miami will be caught up with all the crazy.

Once you get your pens up and running, you and Moony should start talking about starting a hatchery type business. You take certain colors and focus on those. He can take the rest and focus on those.

Just planting a seed. Trust the plan and all that jazz.
