Yes, have him over some lovely fresh egg noodles.

We do not have chicken for dinner. My children are quite sure EVERYTHING chicken that we cook is from rooster. Often evil, bad rooster. Tried to explain that roosters are chickens, but yeah, I give up. We have Rooster Noodle Soup, Baked Rooster, Fried Rooster, Evil Bad Rooster and Dumplings....

Or have a coop builder like DH who builds the coop 3x the size requested.

I fail to see a negetive side to this. I believe it translates to "honey, you really don't have enough chickens. Happy hatching

"

That, or, "I know where this is going, so I may as well build it now."

That works until the kids want peafowl and convince Dad that they "need" peafowl....

Or yeah, it's all fun and games until you trip over a chicken.

Does that include forage? Because I don't think Chickenzoo feed hers that much, but they have a pony pasture they play in....

"Many companies now manufacture a ratite feed specifically formulated for emus. An adult emu will eat an average of two pounds of feed per day, costing about $60.00 - $75.00 per year. They also enjoy a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, if available, and will consume grasses, bugs, insects, worms, etc., within their pen. Fresh water should be available at all times. Emus have an excellent feed to weight conversion factor."

So a 50# bag of Purina Emu Chow will last around 10 days, more or less.

Well, after they mature, seems like they'd earn as much or more than a horse per year...

Sergeant Fenster agrees with you

I try. Tell the Sarge a little lime, a birch sapling... course you'd have to wait till summer for the ground to thaw.

Daub them with honey, sprinkle with sesame seeds, the bears will wake up soon and they generally emerge hungry... not that I've given this any thought.
