I like you right now.

Hear that Banty...SUPPER.

"right now"

My fault?? I blame Kiki.

Well... as long as you don't do more than one cross, it'll be fine colour wise, I believe. Just breed 'em back to standard. Or else.

WHAT!!

Crazy westerners....

Only one cross then breed back??
No, no, no...breed them to my EE's then.

ACK!! Over my dead body. Unless it's a pencilled EE... then maybe. But I already have enough issues with willow legs so hold off on that, thanks.

Are you saying you call it supper too? I need backup.

Don't know what happened to the rest of the post, but YES; dinner is a midday meal

Breakfast is at 8 (or later, I'm ashamed to say,) lunch at 12--2, and dinner at 6 or whenever I can get the whole family dragged together.

No suppers or eating lunch at breakfast.

That is so wrong.

Thank you! That'st 3-1.

Ok...we're going for SUPPER now.

We put signs up outside on the road saying "chickens and eggs on sale limited time".. neglecting for punishment by asking for unexpected visitors..
(but really need to down size fast).
A lady comes by and picks out 5 pullets and asks for 4 dozen eggs. We box the birds and hand her the eggs and she hands me a sack of quarters...

5 birds @ 10 bucks ea & 8 bucks for the eggs.. So now I have 72 quarters. If I was a kid in an arcade I would be in heaven. I am going to put them in a tube sock and bonk the next person in the head that pays with 5 lbs in coins...

THEN.. some guy who bought a couple hens asked how much for the 75# feeder pigs close by.. Hub says 175... the guy offered 45 bucks since he bought 2 birds and though he could get a break. Hub goes.. lets see...... pigs born June 9th, today is Oct. 22, It ate over $100 in feed since June... Sure... I don't need my money back.. I do this only so I can wake up to smell $#!h everyday. Here is the key to that Mustang over there as well... You proboly don't want it because the tanks not full ...OMG.. I thought the guy was gunna want his money back for the birds. Hubby walks to the house and lets the dogs out and the guy left swiftly.. Never a dull moment with my elegantly sarcastic spouse.
I took the signs down before he totally blew his gasket. At least when you sell on line, the price is pretty much set. 10 people today pushed his buttons with wanting something for nothing..

Headed out to mow the lawn for the last time before Spring... Hang out with the smokey hickory smell..
Birds birds birds... too many.. Halloween batch is the last one for awhile..

toot-a-loo 4 now..

I do find your customer stories & hubby's comments very entertaining.
I hope the rest of your sales go smoother..... but if they don't, please share.

the trend out here is to call them "a meal". I find that odd

Breakfast is in morning
Mid-day is lunch
kids get an after school snack about 3:30
Dinner about 5:30 or 6pm

No one really calls the dinner meal "supper," and I had no idea people thought they were two different meals.
I figured it was just like how some people call soda, "pop"
