My wife and I just had that "We need to talk"conversation...

Do you have a 3/4 ton or larger truck? If not look into purchasing one. Feed runs will get frequent if you can't haul more than a 1/2 ton at a time.
Overloading a smaller vehicle will quickly ruin shocks.
Better option would be purchase a small silo and have it delivered in bulk if you can swing that.

I’m surprised nobody has “the talk” more often, it’s definitely a serious matter.

It's an enlightening experience.

I have "the talk" with myself every few weeks at present!
Me: Hey guess what!?
Me: What?
Me: You know how you reeeaaaalllyy wanted those new Citron genetics but didn't think you'd find any this season?
Me: Yeess?
Me: I've found you some!
Me: Woohoooo *chicken dance*
Me: But hold on - you're already committed to doing some Splash Araucana and then some Pheasants
Me: Yeeahh.. I am... *silence for a few moments*
Me: DECISION!! Let's get ANOTHER incubator..

Yep so do I and then we have the poultry swap coming up and it’s not helping. I keep telling myself “you can sell chicks and eggs, you also need some show quality and your getting extra space to keep them”

Partner told me today he wanted to buy me fancy hatching eggs. As soon as the post office settles down post holiday. High quality marans so he can have their pretty eggs in his basket! Who am I to say no!? They'll go GREAT under my blue egg rooster!

I've had a number of pre-marital talks of this nature.

That's why I'm single.

Who knew chickens would be the deal breaker.

Took a trip to the feed store
