My biggest problem is that my wife does not know about the 37 incubating chickens in the basement hiding in plain sight behind the furnace.

How adorable! Do you plan to sell any?

I did not plan on selling these but... I have a coop and run set up to breed the girls with a white silkie to get a few sizzles or at least a frizzles mix of some kind. I am working on chicken genetics. Very confusing. We shall see how own the 37 incubate and my ability to hatch chickens. I will keep you posted as soon as they begin to nest and produce offspring. I love these freaky looking chicks.
