Oh yeah, the Cobbler's children go shoeless....
I had a woman stop here a week ago to buy some birds...and she noticed the big foundation & I explained we are building our house.
"You have no house yet but chicken coops were more important?" she laughed.
I said:
When I came here, I actually had 6 rabbits, and a horde of chickens.
"Oh" she replied.
I had to build coops fast.
Driving through CA, OR & into WA with a van full of rabbits, dog & chickens was interesting...a trailer full of hutches (buns were in dog crates in the van)
In Oregon, you cannot fill your own gas tank.
The attendant has to do it.
So we sat there.
And let the guy fill our tank........
And the roosters were crowing, and a few hens decided it was time to sing the egg song...we acted like we did not hear it.
And everyone in the gas station was looking around to see where all the chickens were..........
One of my friends moved to North Idaho from Tumwater when her husband retired from the Airforce. He drove a maximum sized UHaul with much of their furniture, all of their books and cooking utensiles, and a bunch of seasoned oak firewood they'd gotten a good deal on- the latter partly to get the weight up, since that was the basis upon which the DOD reimburses terminal moves (or did then). She drove an International TravelAll with her children, who were two and six at the time, a GSD puppy, four milk goats, and two kids, and towed a Datsun B-210 with two more goats (including their buck) and their chickens inside and a rocking horse on the roof. It was quite a sight to see.
