Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

All depends on the person. I was an accountant in the beginning, then went into management in operations. My teams were recognized as some of the best ever. Then back to corporate in top management positions, but I still preferred operations. Retired after 34 years and love my chickens, horses and mountain farm. I could go for days without seeing any person except my husband. Absolutely detest any outside commitments now. I was through when I left the business world.

Where did you get the eggs?

They gave me a nice incentive to retire and replaced me with someone they paid a lot less. I'm where I'm supposed to be but I do miss that job from time to time.

Oh, to retire at 50....
If I can figure out a way to either sell 300 chicks/ week, or sell them for $500 each, I'm out of here

Catch-22 Mr. Flock! You need to work to save up enough money to have space to hatch 300 chicks a week and while you are working you don't have time to hatch 300 chicks a week so you can stop working!

It's a vicious circle

Think of it as a lifestyle change! Increased mobility equals exercise equals longevity! It's a win win! You find the fountain of youth AND get all the crazies/meth heads off of our streets!
No not recently! He did say about a month ago that he was still planning on shipping March 8th which is next Tuesday

so..I'm a nervous wreck!! I hope I don't lose any or make any mistakes! I can't wait it's killin me!!
I already...have butterflies in my stomach! I know I know!!!!

I think marchick only lost 1 of 35, so that's an incredible ship rate. Everything will be fine

 

[marchick]

No one thinks that of you!!

I am calling it old age but it is a little early!

That is the only one that I have lost so far! They are all doing good! Even the one that got out and left me a gift on my good chair!!!

I kinda tried that when I organized the retiree lunch in January but oops, forgot to go. I had calendar alerts to contact the restaurant, query the potential attendees, finalize that list, give the count to the restaurant. I didn't have one for the event itself. I can't really play the old age card though since I am the youngest of the group ... by 15 years in some cases. And THEY don't forget.
