    "Discussion" with husband about owning chickens

    My husband has been an incredibly good sport about this whole thing. I guess giving him a year to get used to the idea worked. He's gotten more supportive of the things that make me happy, since I've always been that way with him. I really never tell him "no" about getting some vehicle, tv...

    "Discussion" with husband about owning chickens

    I know this thread is WAY old, but I started it over a year ago and thought it deserved an update. I now have my first ever order of chicks set to arrive the week of May 12. There have been no more "real" fights with my husband, and we actually picked up lumber last week for him to build my...

    "Discussion" with husband about owning chickens

    It's interesting that you mention making him eat a fresh egg next to a store bought one. Sunday I was making breakfast and offered eggs (store) which he declined, saying eggs alone don't do much for him, as there's not much flavor. I should make him do a taste test... I'm located in...

My husband came home the other day (a couple of days after the initial blow-up) after talking to someone at work that had chickens, and this person told him that free-range chickens will dig up...

    "Discussion" with husband about owning chickens

    Thanks for the input everybody! I feel better already, and things have smoothed out at home. We have this agreement (or at least my one-sided agreement), for every vehicle he buys, I get an animal, and I think in the case of chickens, one vehicle is worth several birds. I think I'll be able...

    "Discussion" with husband about owning chickens

    My husband and I are going on our second year in a small farmette. Both town kids originally, but I've always wanted to live on a farm. He's a little less sure. I want to raise lots of critters, including chickens, but when I mentioned the idea last night, he blew a gasket. He mentioned...
