Did you really?
sigh.
I told him:" but, but,but....they are only a dollar a piece!!!" and the look he gave me was deadly. He and I both know it isn't 'bout the money at all. It's about where to put them.
And if I didn't already have a bunch of chicks coming in the spring from swapping and eggs, I probably would have ordered some anyway but I am worried a bit about his reaction to those when they start to come in. LOL. I am already thinking up excuses.
I wish we all lived closer... we could do a weekend at each person's house building coops and grow-out pens. it would be fun!
