I used to have an addiction problem with roses.Having a hard time not giving into chicken math.
Myers just sent me their flyer, "hey order today and get them shipped tomorrow"![]()
Basic rule of thumb.. if you don't have the room, you don't get anymore....![]()
see how that works.....![]()
I did teach something like that to the older ladies I see at the store.
I see them eying the ice cream, cakes or cookies etc.
I walk up and just plainly tell them in my charming way.![]()
See the No No. (they look)
visualize it, (they stare at it) taste it. (you can see them move their mouth)
mmm, good, yes. (they agree and smile)
Ok now walk away.
It would work for me if the catalog was covered in yellow chick down and made that cute little peeping noise when you opened the front coverI used to have an addiction problem with roses.
I had 50 or so of the things (kinda like with chicken math, keeping the numbers vague helps you feel better). Climbers, Hybrid Teas, Miniatures - I'm not sure that I've ever met a rose I didn't like.
This is a terrible place to grow roses, by the way. The humidity helps fungal diseases run rampant, and there are all kinds of beasties that love roses even more than I do (can you hear munching sounds?!!)![]()
I used to get catalogs from rose growers with all manner of varieties pictured in glowing, sun-splashed perfection. Sneaky devils, they sent the catalogs in mid winter, when everything looks so dreary (yes, I do know why)
Those catalogs even smelled like roses - if that's not insidious, I don't know what is.
But somehow, I don't think that trick would work for hatcheries, do you?![]()
Thanks tick.....that helped. I really do have all I can take care of at the momentI really have been dreaming of 150+ silkies decorating my yard
Ok, that is the first step,
now see them all 150 flock to you...![]()
now see them as you run out of feed and start to eat you...![]()
now wake up...your alive, you have your own chickens and they will not eat you if you run out of food......![]()
![]()
now thank your neighbor and be happy with what you have...![]()
self control is no fun but is needed.....![]()
Having a hard time not giving into chicken math.
You know, this is the first time that at this time of year, the chicks at the stores have not even tempted me......................the ducklings, now that is a different story.................
Basic rule of thumb.. if you don't have the room, you don't get anymore....![]()
My rule is, if the flowerbed/garden spot is not preped and ready to set the plants, I can't buy any at the nursery
I walk up and just plainly tell them in my charming way.![]()
See the No No. (they look)
visualize it, (they stare at it) taste it. (you can see them move their mouth)
mmm, good, yes. (they agree and smile)
Ok now walk away. The memory is worth more than the added poundage.. (they do)
these sweet older ladies and even the younger ones just do it and leave with a smile on their faces...![]()
I can just see you doing this in the grocery isle, you smooth talking devil, you...

This one is easy. Set a limit, go and pick that number and only that number. You can get the best ones and still stick to some sane number. I would at least get a trio of the seramas!I am having the same battle with chicken math. My good friend has decided to liquidate her flock of silkies and seramas due to family issues. My silkies which I have hatched from her eggs are so fluffy and pretty. She will give them all to me and I want to take them so badly I could cry but.....she has about 150 of themI do not have room for 1/4 of that amount of chickens let alone all of them. Now if I were retired they would already be in residence with me. Why cant the timing of these things just work out? She did offer to let me have any number of them I want but I know if I go to her house I've had it. I need intervention.....having nightmares of that show "Hoarding - buried alive" .... I really have been dreaming of 150+ silkies decorating my yard

I'm down to 1 now, a miniature named Toy Clown.Bunny, do you still have roses?
