I came clean when they were about 3 weeks old, to encourage continual bonding. He is okay with them, as he had kinda warmed up to them before knowing, and I promised to process them if they became aggressive towards him. But, tbh, I don't think I could. Sampson, always comes over when I am near the pen and chats with me. I am a bit upset with hubby, though. His idea of continuing to bond with them is, on weekends, if he happens to be near their pen, he will say 'hi' as he walks by. I've chastized him about this lack of effort...and am praying that they see him enough to not be aggressive, even if they aren't truly 'friendly' towards him.
at least he hasn't disowned me over it.....I knew his was a somewhat irrational fear from something when he was a kid, and given his kind heart...I knew he wouldn't be freaked out if he had them grow up in front of his eyes. But, I also know him well...unlike you all. Please know I wouldn't have tricked him if I thought he would be terrified...that would have just been down right cruel...and I'm not that. (I probably give that impression at times, though...

sure hope my friends around the world can view this!
