To wit:
Today while he was cutting the grass and Brennan (4 yo. son) and I were feeding and playing with the chickens (six hens), hubby John comes up and says
Johnwaving his hand around to indicate the 20' x 50' space where I have intended to make a garden spot) We should just fence this whole place up and make it a chicken run.
Me: (astonished) Why!?
John: Because you keep getting chickens and pretty soon this run isn't going to be big enough for them.
Me: (indignant) I asked in chicken chat (referring to here) and they said this size run was plenty big for eleven hens!
Him: It's not going to be big enough for thirty!
Me: I stopped buying them!
Him: (pointing to brooder that contains five 3 week old pullets) You stopped buying them two weeks ago. (snickers)
Me: That was three weeks ago, thank you. (Little does he know that they were out of chicks the last time I was at the feed store.)
Him: You'll want more.
=======================
Well, naturally I will. I just can't imagine why he is trying to put ideas like that into my head. But there are two possibilities. (well, four)
1) He wants more chickens as much as I do.
2) He doesn't want to have to help me plant a garden.
3) He REALLY doesn't like cutting grass in that spot.
4) he enjoys building chicken houses more than he lets on.
Maybe it is a combination of all those things.
