I figured out to late into the relationship that my hubby's parents ruined him liking really any animal, but he loves me so he just keeps his yipper closed.

DD uses the "Critter Quotient" when evaluating potential boyfriends and rating dates/acquaintances. The higher the CQ, the more likely they are to show up at the house, again. Her current BF rates an 8.5, which is significantly higher than his predecessor's 6. Her BFF actually rates about a 12, on a scale of 1-10. She figures her schedule around her riding lessons/shows, feeding time and the farrier. Apparently, that makes for major brownie points on the social scale!

I had the help of a very persuasive 5 yr old. Then I have a daughter who works at TSC, comes in handy (she gets discounts)

Here in Wyoming you can only find chicks if you go to a town 40 miles away. Then only for 2 months in the spring. Our feed stores can only special order them from hatcheries. I have had a good market for chicks and started young chickens over the years. There is also a lot of demand for baby and young guineas here. So I have had a wonderful hobby that ALMOST pays for the rest of my flock's feed.
