People who don't understand "chicken math" - ARE NOT IMPRTANT IN YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

Your life can never be improved by them or your irrational upset because you cannot appease them.
You do not need them in your life to feel good about yourself and what you do!!!!!

Hay you need us your real chicken friends!!!!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU !!!!!!! The more you have and look after properly

the better your chicken math!

And we all love folk who have a good grasp of chicken math!!!!

All of the same... I just laugh! Sorry, I don't spend my money at the bar every night or on clothes or cars or.. You know. I'd rather have a happy home full of meowing, barking, clucking, thumping (well thats all the rabbits do..) animals. And my home's still cleaner than most folk. Such is life. Different people, different priorities.

Now when I said I was going to eat my ducks (I got 3 pekins who all turned out male) I think I lost a few family members. My mom actually suggested I SET THEM FREE. c_c Thought I'd said I hated baby Jesus or something, and none of these people are vegetarians...

People ask questions because they are curious. I'm allergic to eggs, and people ask me all the time, why do you have chickens, & what do you do with the eggs. After I laugh, I remind them I have a family that eats food, lol, and my chickens are pets. It's that simple.

Yep. I get all the same comments too. Well, not the hoarder one. But then I only have two hens.

But I'm not handy at all. I mean, NOT AT ALL. So while researching chickens, I fell in love w/ the Amish built hen houses. And I had to have one. Yes, it was $440. And yes it was an additional $200 to have it shipped from NY to CA. (It's my avatar.) I got grief for that up the Ying Yang. I still do. And I don't care. I think my two little hens are simply adorable in their little house and they make me wonderful eggs because they are such happy hens.

I stopped giving eggs to anyone who makes fun of my hens. And believe it or not, but they still ask for eggs? I'm ready to tell the next person that I only give eggs to people who care and take an interest in my hens. Everyone else can go buy eggs at the supermarket.

THe questions people ask are questions from people who do not understand and don't want to understand rather they are insulting and rude. My brother always asks me how many cats I have. I always feel insulted. He volunteered at the cat shelter while I actually took in dozens of strays and fed and cared for them very well. Yes, they lived in my house and outside. I still resent that he asks, like a number is somehow very important, yet to me each had a name and a personality and a story. DId I hord cats? No-one else stepped forward to provide them shelter and food and medical like shots and spaying. I still resent my brothers "questions" and I only have TWO cats now.

I don't think I've changed much. I once worked at a zoo and had cougar cubs in my room at night to babysit ! My mom allowed it!

SOme people just don't understand and try to force their opinions on you via "innocent" questions. I no longer invite those people over.
