I love talking to others who have a similar start and are kicking some A in the process. It puts a smile on my face. Congrats on 32 years.

Congrats! We got married at 19 and just celebrated 11 years.
And now you all know how old I am

that falls under pets that's one thing that I understand people pay a lot for pets. the dozen I paid fifty for I drove a 160 miles round trip to get I would not trust shipping something so expensive . from a business point its hard to recover your investment you could end up with one or none. best case your marketing egg at $3.50 per dozen or organic at $7.50 which is hard to get. SC will back me up here I read his post. the money pit gets deeper and deeper .Walnuthill might be making a profit hope so I see a major investment there. Few people really make a profit on chickens. I must or they are gone . I will keep enough for eggs for the family .the chicken coops will be refitted for bottle calves . Btw no one on this thread is dumb except maybe me I thought how hard could it be if a chicken can hatch an egg so can I the hard part was getting my butt in the nest and it only got worse from there. I'm hoping for a three year turn around. this thread has helped me a lot I now use a incubator sorry didn't think once again how much people love their pets
I wish I could find me some bottle calves right now! Cattle prices are insane!
Pullet for sure![]()
Thank goodness my wife is along for the ride with me. She enjoys it as much as I do, and I had a serious chicken math malfunction. I said no more breeds this year. That was before the BCM and Ameraucana. Now I'm trying to figure out where I will build the olive egger coop. And the coop for the second line of BCM. And the coop for the second line of Ameraucanas...
Someone help me, please![]()
Well, it could be worse... At least my addiction is chickens. The rest of the men in my family like meth![]()
That's great your wife is on board. DH doesn't like animals. I keep asking him why he married a vet tech then!?!?
