Well......would have to be at least several dozen eggs
Does he do farm work? If so, sounds like a fair deal to me.
I could use a useful man around the farm...
Yes
It does take him awhile to get to it sometimes, though. You know, those country boys are kinda slow moving.....

House is temporary
Of course.....we have had 2 dogs, (NOT 12!!!
), chicks, ducks, quail & rabbits all in the house at once...
All DH said was........ "I don't care as long as I don't have to clean anything up."
He cleaned brooder bins a few times without anyone asking him to!
He definitely did NOT help dust either!

I have to admit, even though my DH is a keeper, he is terrible at barn chores. I love him dearly for trying (he did the afternoon chores for me two times last week) but my goodness the amount of extra work I had to do because he doesn't have the same "eye for detail" as I do makes it not worth asking him to do it. Don't get me wrong, I thanked him for doing them and grumbled to myself while I was doing the extra work (where he couldn't hear me). I know he cares about the animals and no one went hungry, but my version of "clean" and his version are not the same.
On the good side, he lets me go nuts with the chickens and is a little nutty about the chickens himself so yeah, he is a keeper!
ETA - I forgot to add, I was so excited yesterday, we had six for six eggs! (Yeah I have seven pullets but my splash AM is refusing to lay yet) I count that as a "perfect score!"
Oh trust me, I'd be glad if mine would just feed them!
He also limits my critter collecting habbit, keeps telling me i have enough chickens, he has no idea what he's in for now I have two 'bators.
DH is wanting a reptile bator to hatch in. I just got him another styro bator back in September (would have 3 but I need to order a wafer for the oldest one). Soooooooo I will be hatching in the two or three styros.
And he counted my chickens and told me I have enough.
Of course, that was not considering almost 5 dozen in bators now

DH is keeping track of my numbers too... He keeps telling everyone I have 16 chickens, like it's a bad thing?
Obviously I need enough he can't keep track of the numbers. I have currently have too few to sneak extras in!

16????? Really, only 16??? You are a bad hatcher! You need to set like 48.

I know, I know! I only have 6 chicks, the other 10 are crowing or hopefully laying in the next month or so!
I've been so good limiting my habbit too.
Set 12 to test the bator = my 6 chicks. Set 12 for CNY and got nothing and set 24 shipped eggs = a single egg in lockdown.
Obviously I need to fill up my 'bators because the odds are against me right now.

You need more people to send you eggs that know how to pack for shipping. Not a great hatch rate but I got 10 out of 25 eggs. I am HAPPY with that!!!
