Going to Tractor Supply was a mistake

[NuggetTheChicken]

I went there last week and thankfully didn't bring any little fuzzballs with me. I really wanted to get some ducklings, but I realized I don't have any space for any. But, my dad did say we could get some after we get a coop. We're starting the coop this sunday....

Today I stopped, looked, and only bought feed! It's just too early, they aren't yet on sale, and IT WAS HARD!

Wow! such willpower! I'm impressed.

Just went to TS... khakis are $.50!!!!! But I wanted Muscovy if I would get anything. I’m torn...sitting in a waiting room trying to decide if I should go back. I told everyone there I’d be back. Ugh

Just don't go back till tomorrow. Gives you time to think it over!

I'm sending my husband for chicken food after work today. He's MUCH more capable of getting in and out without babies...That said, we DO have to get the rest of the critter feed tomorrow or Saturday. We are going into PA since their minimum is 4 birds instead of 6 here in Ohio. Maybe then, at least I'll come home with fewer birds, since I am totally incapable of resisting...

My daughter just brought something up that is chicken math at its finest! She says that bantams are really only equal to 1/2 a full-sized chicken, so technically you could get twice as many. I like the way she thinks!!!

You’re daughter is absolutely right. The small bantams even count for ⅓. That’s why I can have 8 of them in my small coop without it getting too crowded. If it where normal size chickens, suppose I only could have 3.

Update: the “Gold Laced Wyandotte” is actually a Dominique chick... still cool though!

Well, I went to buy some food and oyster shells, and the peeping of chicks floated over to me. I was over there before I even realized. Debating, debating.... ah heck it, no one will care if you get a few, right? I ended up coming home with four chicks. A polish, a buff Orphington, a gold laced Wyandotte, and a bantam. No one can blame me, right? Now I have to deal with what my family will think about me getting more chickens...

She's a chicken math 101 graduate, for sure!
