Excuses for Hubby......

[ki4got]

ok... just told hubby there were eggs on the way.

"she's getting better than a dozen a day, and can't bear to just eat them all, so she's sending me some."

since i just sold 9 chicks yesterday, (mutt bantams at that) for $3 each, and that covers almost 2 months of feed, he's agreeable.

and i've got 15 more eggs of broody's, some in the 'bator some under her, and once the cochins get here i've got some dorkings going in with them too... and a few more mutt bantams to fill in the gaps...

uh... i'd better start building the big coop a bit sooner than later. 8)

I agree. I take care of the chickens. I arrange for coops and feed from my budget (or sell jewelry from my first husband). Why do I need Mr. Hallerlake's permission?

i don't specifically need 'permission' but if i do something without at least warning him then that makes life a bit more uncomfortable.

at least he tolerates the chickens, since there are so many uses for them and their 'byproducts'. ie eggs, hatching eggs, chicks, meat, and last but not least, fertilizer... (he just has problems with WHERE they deposit it - like near the front door.)

My hubby's at work today. Just talked to him and he's in a great mood. I think I might drop the bomb when he gets home...

And take advantage of his wonderful demeanor. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!

Wish me luck.

It does please Mr.H that I sell my extra eggs and chicks, and he enjoys them, and their eggs, more than he expected.

Yes! And he just bought a new TV for the living room...you may be onto something...

Of course, his come back will be, "TV's don't poop." LOL

Ya, but T.V.'s don't give you breakfast and dinner!

***NEWS ALERT***

Is it possible for husbands to CONFORM or ACCEPT the idea that there will be eggs hatching from now on? Or is that considering GIVING UP...?

Here's the scenario:

We were all in the backyard hanging out. My husband goes inside for something and comes back out holding a box. He walks up to me and says, "UPS just came", and hands me the box. I say, "Oh cool!" (Because I was expecting some stuff I ordered for my boutique business.) He says to me all excited, .... Drum Roll Please....

"Did you order more eggs?! What did you get?!"

Really? Excited about eggs? Hatching in the garage?

So I'm not sure if there was a bug going around, or if he was in an exceptionally good mood, or what. But for once I would not have needed the excuses this forum has so generously shared with me.

So now I wonder... If I order more eggs, will he have the same reaction or was that a one time thing. I must find out.

If you need me I'll be in the auction.. testing a theory - so to speak.

The first time I bought chicks, I asked him if I could. Now if I get eggs or chicks or chickens, he doesn't bat an eye. Going to the sale Saturday. Expect to buy a flock of Blue Orps on Monday. Guess I had better build a coop tomorrow :-D Maybe he is numb from shock.

My Number One excuse is: "These are replacement eggs because the last batch didn't turn out well." LOL... Works for me all the time because I have bought shipped eggs.. He has no idea how many times, I have used this excused even after I just got done bidding..... LOL...
