Things you wish you could say

Okay, true feed store story from today:
Feed store guy asks me, how much are you getting for your Crevecoeur hatching eggs?
I say, thirty dollars a dozen.
Guy behind me says, how many chickens do you have?
Thinking he was talking about the Crevecoeurs, I said, Twenty breeders.
Guy behind me says, Twenty! You should have fifty!
Then, Guy behind me says, I can't wait to retire, so I can make money raising chickens.
No real money in it, I said, except for him, and I pointed at the feed store guy.

What I really wanted to say was that old joke about the merchant selling salt:
A customer says to the merchant, you have so much salt here!
The merchant says to the customer, yep, I buy it for three dollars a bag and sell it for two dollars a bag.
The customer says, how do you make any money?
The merchant says, Volume!

I had someone ask why I had so many birds and didn't sell chicks so I could quit my pizza job.


I wish that were possible XD but I don't have certifications and no one around here likes most of the breeds I have so no point in hatching a ton of chicks to sell

Sort of like a saying us horse people have:

How do you make a small fortune with horses? Start with a large one.

Teach it!

Just taught my new tablet this:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa

I can't even get it not to auto correct my name half the time and I've owned this phone for 3 years!
I'll have to get a whip and a chair...

At least y'all probably never had your school accounts given the autocorrect versions of your name

A chick is a baby bird. Saying "baby chick" is redundant, like calling a human infant a "baby baby".

Drives me mad

I only say that about babies still on baby brain (when they just hatch and are swinging their heads and flopping) and when Google searching since just saying chicks doesn't help

Wait- so I have been calling baby's the wrong thing all a long. It does explain a lot.

I still say "ice box". I know some people have no idea what I am referring to, and others think I mean an ice chest.
