Hubby said no more chicks

[JoJoM]

We'll have 22 chicks by the end of of March and only have room for about 18 so he said no more chickens. Is that what they call chicken math? I may have developed an addiction to incubating eggs so I have some duck eggs being delivered today! Not chickens We live on 200+ acres and have a 2 acre pond, so ducks seemed like a good choice. I have a second coop I can use for them. We've never had duck so this will be all new to us and I'm always so grateful for this forum.
I have a dozen eggs to set. Ducks are Pekin and Runner, drakes are rouen, cayugen, khaki campbell and pekin. She isn't even sure what's fertile, but I'll give it a shot. I have no idea what to expect from these mixes, but I'm pretty excited.

and after the ducks there's always geese, and guinea fowl, and turkeys, and pigeons, and pea fowl, and pheasants, and ----------------------------

Isn't chicken math the best?

Tell him no more guns.

Well... my husband told me no more dogs. He did not say anything about ducks. Therefore I have ducks now too

 

[JoJoM]

Tell him no more guns.

...or trucks or snow mobiles or four wheelers....

I don't try and control DH and he doesn't try and control me. That is why I have bad chicken math.

No control here, he's just more sensible than I am and knows what we have room for!

I get it. If I had it my way, I'd had way too many animals and be poor because of it. Just can't say no to an animal in need of a home.

My husband is my voice of reason. However, doesn't mean he doesn't break from time to time. I just keep showing cute videos and pictures till he has a weak moment!

My husband says he’ll divorce me if I get anymore ducks.
