Hello Everyone,
I'm sure I'm not the ONLY one, but that doesn't make it any easier on DH.. yup, I put the chickens before the coop. But hey, our sweet 15 yr. old girl is growing up fast and she isn't going to be with us forever, you know? And she's been begging to get some chickens. "Can we just go look at them? Please???" I mean, what's the harm in looking?
"Okay, but we're only going to LOOK, not buy." I even left my purse in the car! I had no intention of buying that day, but once we got around those fluffy chicks and saw pictures of what beautiful hens they'd become, all common sense just flew the coop and it was all too easy to fetch my wallet and collect the immediate necessitities.
It wasn't that big of deal for me to build some temporary housing the next day while hubby was at work, but while I've been searching for the perfect "coop" this past MONTH (eh, hem...I've been a little busy with the rest of life) the chicks have been growing incredibly FAST and have outlived their welcome in our living room. Eh, hem.
So, ya.... it's crunch time. And I'm a little freaked out at all the comments within the coop pages stating, "I'll admit it took a lot longer than I anticipated."
Huh?! No, no, no! And here I thought, "No problem... I can build a coop this week!"
Hahahahaha! I crack me up!
NOTE TO SELF: It'll be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
Thanks to everyone here who share their experience, expertise, wisdom, humor, and encouragement. God knows, I am in need of all of those things.
