agruments and chickens? related or not?

Date sort Score sort
My wife will often question the amount I spend on birds. I admit, my birds cost a lot. Fortunately I have a good job and can afford it. I used to tell her when i first started showing that we may actually make money selling birds at shows.

It's been 15 years and I have yet to finish on the plus side of this hobby. At least I can deduct my small farm expenses.
 
lol i have had horses for 9 years and still havent made a dime.....but i still argue that one day i will....and i will.....even if its when im on my death bed and must sell them all.....ill make me some darn money!!!

Honestly, it does sound like there is more going on than just your hobby. Many, many people have hobbies that cost money and more than they thought originally, but once hooked, you are hooked.

He also sounds like someone who doesn't "get" chickens. I mean, we DO get eggs.
 
lol....probably....he takes me to dinner on the weekends and likes me to drive so he can drink, but im always complaining about gas money -- and chickens or no chickens ive have a right to complain when i get 5 miles to the gallon (no exageration)! Anyways part of my chicken obsession is because I suffer from really bad depression. It got a whole lot better and than recently starting getting worse again and buying chickens makes me feel a little better in some sort of wierd uncomprehendable way. I cant afford it in the slightest and im sort of stupid about it in that I will buy chickens before I think about the gas money I need to get to work, but expensive pill for this disorder dont work and if chickens do, to me thats priceless. I just wished they worked a little better, but any is awesome!
 
Dump him ASAP! He is nothing else than a BF. With no commitment to marriage, do whatever you want to do. He has absolutely no right to tell you what you can or should do with your time and money. The chicken issue is just an excuse. No tears, there is a saying in Europe, that other mothers have beautiful sons, too, if you understand what I mean........move on with your life. Good luck!
 
Very complicated. One thing that might help though is make sure your blood levels of vitamin D are correct. Low vitamin D worsens depression. Fish oil also helps with brain chemistry and can help your other meds work better.

he doesnt get "whats so great about them." I dont either, but I know that I like them. I eat eggs and chicken, but not much, Im not big on either, but I dont not eat them. I just like that its a cheap(er) sport and i can have almost as many as i want and its ok (i say this as were talking about how its not ok---see i have problems--i think im the one who doesnt get it). I dont know it started out with a couple to keep the ticks down. Well now i have about 20 times as many and theyre locked up and not eating the bugs cuz i dont want other animals eating them like theyre bugs!!! I am getting asked why i have them if they cant go out and eat the bugs like id planned. and i really dont know
