When I mention getting more chickens, My DH rolls his eyes or says 'oh my god'.
But I've caught him looking at MY chickens, talking to MY chickens, and telling MY chickens how pretty they are.
I've assured him that it's OK to admit he likes them just as much as I do and even tho he's a man, he's really just a big softy at heart!!
I'm planning on getting a couple silkie/X hens within the next few weeks, and of course DH isn't aware of it at the moment.
He'll find out about them when he comes in from work and sees them.
