EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

I think because I am soft spoken. Like a car salesman will try to manipulate a lady customer but show more respect to a male customer. He was a shovenist trying to pray on me.
I thought our sales dropped because Hub is brutal honest on the phone and tells people off.. (when I took over) but have learned why he has been getting huffy puffy lately.
5 years ago it wasn't like that.. Sales were easy. People seemed more easy going.
I changed my # out of all the ads eariler.. Time to let grouch mouse get tagged in before I'm pinned down.
We are going back to flea and swap sales. Have been collecting cages and wire boxes for the last couple months. On line ads are no longer profitable for our geographical region.

Sigh. Dumb people.

Craigslist is killing me today.. Ready to hand it back to DH..
I guy just tried to bully me over the phone saying HE PAYS $5 for roos & $10 for hens. Demanding me to sell him my males at that price. Raising his voice on the price and repeatingly asking for my address so he could come pick them up and how many males there was.
I told him I will call the Sheriff Office if he calls back.
I am switching the Ads back to DH # tonight. I had enough of craigslist crap.

Could everyone stop changing their avatars please?I'm confused enough on my own

Our kids are very good about washing their hands as soon as they come inside & again before eating. We even have "chicken shoes" by the back door. (Basically just old shoes to slip on before playing out back. They are never worn anywhere else. Likewise with some old coats in winter.) Because our DD is a big animal cuddler, we had to make a "No kissing chickens" rule.

So..... DS goes to religious ed & they were talking about the 10 commandments. The teacher asked for examples of some rules from home. Yep. Little DS proudly said, "No kissing chickens." The teacher was rather surprised & unsure how to respond.

I was embarrassed but also thankful he didn't say some of our other house rules.....
DH refuses to allow our flock to eat any leftovers from a chicken dinner, so the "No cannibalism" rule was created. It has turned into a family joke when some one says something like, "You're so cute I could just eat you all up!" Also our current dogs love to dig. We have a flower garden where previous pets have been buried, so we've had the "Don't dig up the dead" rule in place for several years now.

Great family rules! Love it!

That's your new favourite button, eh?

I'll take that to mean "Yes, change it".

Phone rang....
Roberto goes.. You lasted only 5 days whoosie..
(Answering ad calls) I guess his phone is lighting up..

On the PLUS SIDE.. "Don't forget to pull out something to smoke tomorrow"
I feel like a kid in a Butcher's shop...

Slab of Bacon & Slab of Ribs...
WOOD Smoked Bacon without sodium nitrate.. Berkshire Spare Ribs...

They must find women easy marks. I just pulled the wheels off my Mothers car because the dealership did a "FREE" 32 point inspection and said she needs new brakes.

There is a good 3/8 of an inch of pad left on them before she hits the wear strips. The amount she drives that will out last her drivers license. It will be years before I need to replace them.

I decided to look and do it myself because they wanted $850 for the brake job.....

Just for you, Shaw!
