2008 Changes-What Are You NOT Doing This Year re: Chickens?

[Queen of the Lilliputians]

I will not ask dh before getting more chicks.

I will NOT listen to dh when, on my way to a swap, he says I can't buy any.

(BTW, when I got home from that swap he said he didn't care and was joking.. meanwhile I had passed up some BEAUTIFUL bantam wyandottes I REALLY wanted.. ARG!).

I will NOT give away all my extra eggs to friends and family, thereby preventing them from actually PAYING for themselves with egg sales.

I also will NOT add a turkey or a duck, and will use all my willpower NOT to order chicks online...

I will NOT bring home new chicks, then later have mixed breed roos to rehome/process (2 out of 3 were roos??)

I will NOT ceaselessly attempt to incubate my own eggs on the grounds that a few *appear* fertile (nothing ever develops)

I will NOT listen to my dh when he says how "fun" it would be to incubate a dbl yolker.

I will NOT name every chicken, whether they are going to be a "keeper" or not (hence the reason that the two mixed roos from earlier are STILL HERE)

I am NOT going to order more than 10 broilers at a time!!

Maybe I won't get ANY.

I WILL continue fighting the urge to sew little boots for my girls because they all hate the snow.

Hummph!!!

My original proclamation was I would not incubate anything before the end of February, but that ended last night when I won TWO auctions (one on ebay and one on eggbid). I'm sooooooooo weak!!

I will not have turkeys again this year.

I will not get any more ducks.

I will not build a third coop.
