A city man, tired of the rat race, decided to give up the city life, move to the country, and become a CHICKEN FARMER.
He purchased a nice, used chicken farm.
He soon discovered that his next-door neighbor was also a CHICKEN FARMER!
The neighbor came to visit one day and offered, "Chicken farming isn't easy.
To help you get started, I'd like to give you one hundred chickens."
The new chicken farmer was elated.
Three weeks later the new neighbor stopped by to see how things were going. The new farmer said, "Not very well. All one hundred chickens died."
The neighbor, astonished, said, "Oh, I can't believe that!
I've never had any trouble with my chickens. I'll give you one hundred more."
Another three weeks went by, and the neighbor stopped in again. The new farmer said, "You won't believe it, but the second one hundred chickens died, too."
Astounded, the neighbor asked, "What did you do to them? What went wrong?"
"Well," said the new farmer, "I'm not quite sure." But I think maybe I'm not planting them far enough apart."
