My husband won't admit it, but he's all excited about the chicken coop and when I told him that I had been asked to rescue some chicks at the Post Office, but the message came too late, he said "Awww, too bad. You would have given them a great home." I can take day-old chicks anytime. He doesn't have a problem with me getting more Silkies! He even gets a little defensive if someone picks on me about having chickens.
