Um yeah...I came home with FIVE additional chickens only meaning to come home with 2 MAX. I asked my DH today if he though we had too many chickens....he told me no.
At 18 girls...basically I can't get any more unless I sell some at this point.
I know who my enabler is....I have 6 ducks to prove it! However, if her geese don't work out I must draw a line or Aric will put me in rehab for suckers haha

nope, nothing yet. I think it would be nice to find one rooster in the bunch, so I can put some in the incubator. it's the least I could do for a rare breed eh? But I think I've pushed my luck all I dare with my husband for the time being. He don't know I bought an incubator yet, and didn't find out about the jersey giants till the day after chickenstock, I just told him the granddaughter rolled her big baby browns at me.......I'll get away with it.

I literally LOL'd at this. A couple months ago there were chickens in my garden. I have raised beds so it's difficult to chase them out because I have to go around the beds and they just run every which way. So I grabbed a stake that was sticking out of the ground and threw it thinking the chickens would run from the flying stick and I could get them to the gate faster. Well, 2 of the 3 ran from the stick. The other one just stood there! And it hit her and KNOCKED HER OUT!
She fell over and started flopping and I'm not kidding you for a very long few seconds I actually thought "OMG! DID I JUST KILL A CHICKEN WITH A STICK?!" I didn't. She's still alive and still tries to get in the garden every day, but holy moly. I don't throw sticks anymore.
I laughed so hard at that story it literally brought me to tears
I think many of us here on BYC are enablers!
