No, I was good...he's actually the one who teared up at the ceremony. And as to being up at that godawful hour? Being a good wife of course. He gets up that early to get ready for work. I couldn't very well let him make his own breakfast the first day of our marriage. So I got up and made him Fried eggs and English Muffins. Waited while he got showered and out the door, and then I went back to bed!
LMAO....I think DH would hang out alot more if I put machine gun mounts around the garden, thanks for the idea!
Chicken math: "Hunny, I think we should have chickens, we go through so many eggs with the kids here"
I think 6-8 hens will be more than enough" He responds by giving you a Kindle...and then regrets it when you do research. After doing your research, you settle on 11 breeds that you must have, and he comments on how pretty silver sebrights are. You of course realize that they're not practical, so you discount that idea. You have now decided that you must have 3 of each breed, because you are after all getting straight run, and with your luck (and you will be proven right) you will end up with some (did I say some, try lots) of roosters, and some of course will die/be taken by hawks, etc. So now you've agreed to 3x11=33. (doesn't look much like 6-8 does it?) THEN you go to a chicken seminar, and there happens to be a local breeder of silver sebrights...and he's giving some of the roos away...for free! You talk to him, and give him your number....and about 3 hours later, he tells you to come pick up a trio. Now 33+3=36. The summer goes on, and someone posts free ducks on craigslist, and you call and tell them you'll take 2 of the 6....they call back and beg you to take all 6. You do...but these ducks are stupid...and fly into the field to sleep at night....owls love stupid ducks. 1 lone duck remains. You decide you want to incubate the tiny sebright eggs, and some lovely person on here agrees to do it for you. Out of 10 eggs...only 2 make it. So they feel bad and bring you the 2 tiny ones, 1 Salmon Favorelle chick and 5 ducks. THAT is chicken/duck/turkey/gamebird/guinea/quail math. None of us seem to figure out subtraction or division though.

Wonderful explanation! This happened to me! I had all intentions-used loosely-of only taking home 2 babies and came home with 4. Couldn't help myself. Wanted only 3 to begin with on my chicken journey and some how 3 became 8. Oops! :)

So true!! So true!!

Missy, thats not true. I subtract and divide, normally around day 14 of an incubation period, just before I add exponents into the equation.

who ever knew exponents could be fun!! and here we all never believed our math teachers when they told us we would actually be able to use some of what they were trying to teach us!!
 
Yes, I too thought that 6 chicks would be plenty. Now I have 14 and want more. Called TSC this morning and thank god they didn't get a shipment in today. Maybe tmw :). 5 different breeds just doesn't seem like enough variety.

I have subtraction down just fine. Start with a whole glass of Chad's OJ, drink (more is better). You now have less, this is subtraction. After much of this subtraction, you will begin to experience division. Do you see 3 of everything, and none of them very clearly? That's division!

Problem is, that's when eBay comes along and multiplication takes effect.
