    Apparently I'm a farmer now...

    I mentioned once in the presence of my in-laws that I thought it would be "neat" to have chickens because fresh eggs are better than the bland, store-bought ones; perhaps I mentioned this twice over a 3 year period. This most recent holiday season rendered a chicken coop as a gift from them...
