Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

Nope, Teachick, you have the wrong attitude.

1. NEVER add up the number of chicks. You need to be able to TRUTHFULLY say, "I have no idea how many chickens I have, but it can't be very many"

2. If the spouse ever actually SEES the chicks, you need to have ways to get around that too.... Your choices are:
- split them up into separate groups, so you never see them all together
- explain how any minute now, there will be fewer than you can currently see (an eagle will kill some, I am planning on selling a few, we will eat all of the males, and most of those are males, and aren't they tasty when they are bar-b-qued??? )
- evasive answers, "but I have ONLY five leghorns, and those others....well you know how the boys are, they talked me into it" also, I am already planning for " I know that that LOOKS like a lot of eggs, but often the hatch rate from shipped eggs is only 1%!!!! "

Oh, Alaskan........1%?????  Already planning on how you're going to try to get out of trouble.........you're something else!!!
1%?  You're getting 5 dozen eggs pretending that only half an egg is going to hatch: "Well, you see dear, the hatch rate for shipped eggs is only 1%.  And 1% of 60 is only .6, which means that only one of the bantam eggs will hatch, and we don't know which one that is, and we need to set all those LF eggs so that the hatch rate is all of .6 so that that one bantam egg actually hatches...."
Oh, my!  That's all I can say.

Oh, and:

Y'all are killing me this morning!


And I haven't even finished my first cup yet!!!

Me too.  Good Morning!!!  What part of NW Georgia are you from?  We lived in Newnan, and Valdosta at different times.  We are retired Air Force.

Right smack dab between Rome and Calhoun. I'm not originally from here (Ellijay & Kennesaw), but it's home now. And my dad was in the AF, stationed at Dobbins AFB in Marietta.

Eggs! My babies laid their very first eggs! On my birthday! In the pouring rain! And now it is a blizzard... but look at my very first eggs! Does this mean I can get more baby chicks? Thank you Sour!

I liked Georgia. Except Atlanta. I am just not a city girl.

Morning.

I liked Georgia.  Except Atlanta.  I am just not a city girl.

Amen to that! I spent my childhood in the mountains, my adolescence and early adulthood in the city, and now 5 years in the country. I was meant for country life. Going back to the city would be torture for me. I'm currently listening to a Symphony of birds greeting the morning. Who in their right mind would give this up for honking cars, bright lights, and smog??

Ditto. I do like going in for the "cultural" stuff, but I sure don't want to live there. Currently we live literally on the city border of a town of 3,500. We have 13 acres and our nearest neighbor is not visible at a quarter mile away. It takes 10 minutes to get to the grocery store, school and about 3 to jump on the interstate and head for big shopping. Perfect for us.

Okay, off to let the chicks out, get dressed, run to the vet's, feed store, master gardner plant sale and grocery store. Hope everyone has a beautiful Saturday.
