Oh boy Im in so much trouble with yall, I have a mix of about 2 doz eggs coming over the next couple days! and I placed my order with Cackle and decided to expand my poultry and Im geting geese and turkeys! I still dont know how I am going to explain that to him, I could just say, oh we got lucky with the packing peanuts..lol. He would never know the difference. I was only soposed to get 5 more hens for us and maybe anouther duck or 2 and replace the 6 chicks that I was brooding for mom when a dog got them. I think I might just tell him no hunny mom had 25 chicks in there! once the initial shock is gone he will never remember how many are mine and how many are moms.

Tell him the extras are packing peanuts

I always tell my DH that the poor things will die if I had not rescued them. After 16 years when anything "new"with feathers or fur shows up around the farm he just shakes his head.

I have 3 hatchery orders coming the 3rd week of March !!

A lady is suppose to come and pick up the extras. So hopefully the 6 others that I have I can set them up in the barn until tomorrow. Then just sneek them under the hen. And come three months from now, when he actually does go out there, pull the old wool over his eyes. "Honey, those are the ones I told you about. See I told you you would forget.

" Works like a charm! Then I butter 'em up by buying him some 'guy things'. Whatever his latest ''hobby'' is. He forgets all about it. If hes really upset, I'll throw out some

Sounds like a well thought out plan. Im gonna have to remember that in case my wife decides to pull that on me.

ETA: Glad you found someone to tak the extras so quick.

I have learned you just have to ease them into it...if done properly they have no clue and then there is that point of no return; resistance is futile!!!

Oh nooooo, 13 packing peanuts!

My "small" Ideal order is shipping tomorrow morning.

Lol, yea well thought out.

It is much easier to ask forgiveness then permission I have found out. And when you can get a deal from it, like so much off or something, its even better. Last time I had 16 peanuts and I was able to sell them. $15 I think? I cant remember. I even told the couple that they were more than likely all males and they were fine with that. They wanted to..umm take them out to dinner I think, I didnt ask.

Idea #1 - Plead ignorance. All extras are packing peanuts.

Idea #2 - They made a mistake with my order but when I called...they just told me that it was their mistake and I could keep them.

Not that I have any experience in this matter...just trying to help you out-
