My neighbors fixed my coop after a wind storm... I want to repay their kindness........

My neighbor (whos is a master craftsman and gets $50 per hour) ... I called them after a huge windstorm.... My coop "blew over" and lots of chickens were running all around. He , his wife and son cam running over to catch chickens, and rebuild the coop.... he did not ask for one penny.

My husband was laid off at the time (BUT HE JUST GOT A JOB YESTERDAY!!)

I ask Greg my neighbor "how can I ever repay you" he said... "I guess just keep those fresh eggs coming my way once in while"

: bow

WOW what a neighbor.

I now have chickens to sell for extra money and I want to pay my neighbor SOMETHING

We are raising large cornish cross..... I was thinking of giving them about 10 large (9-12 lb!) frozen chickens for Christmas!

This is all we can do to say thanks. Is this good? and arent we lucky to have such nice neighbors!

Wow, you are lucky to have them as neighbors and I think the frozen chicken idea is a great one. Stay on their good side, you never know when you'll need a bigger coop! lol
and a huge CONGRATULATIONS to your hubby on the new job.
Way to go!!!

My next door neighbor has helped me out numerous times with my mower. I don't have much to offer, but do give them fresh eggs whenever I can. I think it's more about the sentiment behind the gesture or gift. I think the fresh chickens is an awesome way to show your gratitude.

Chickens are a nice gesture. But, don't forget that he did tell you that he would enjoy fresh eggs ... I'd keep the fresh eggs going for a while.

Of course, I mean in addition to the fresh eggs.... He just won't know about the frozen roasters until December 25th!

I know if I helped out someone I would love to have some home made goodies at Christmas time.

That's from the heart and means more to me than anything.

Giving them 10 chickens is very generous of you and I'm sure they would appreciate it!!

That is cool...I am with the rest...something baked and from the heart means way more than money to me. My dad recently passed (last week) and a friend gave me a dozen of cinnamon rolls...way better than flowers...plus she hugged me!! Gotta love 92 year old hugs!!!

Sounds like a great idea, to me!

What a great neighbor!
