Yeah...but I have been bugging mine to FINISH my large coop since 2009...I gave up on that and got something that I thought could be easily converted into a second coop...that was also about 2 years ago...and then I found several options for builders to build me what I need that he won't and he's just now starting to get the second coop done and keeps threatening to stop all construction because he wants me to sell 1/2 my flock and downsize.

He refuses to finish my bantam bins which will house my bantams during the winter. This means I have to sell most of them (to him). To me, it means I have to hire someone else to do the cages. I pay for all of the chickens, chicks, eggs, vaccines, medications, sand, shavings, feed, etc, etc myself through hatching egg sales. Not a dime comes out of our "regular" budget...

He's only b*tching about it because he'll have to actually help out around here with feeding/watering while I'm recovering from the c-section....now that he knows how many birds I have

and he doesn't listen to me as far as the quickest/most time-efficient ways to feed/water--he's griping because it takes him 1/2 hour and it's "disorganized."

In actuality, it is not....but in his OCD brain, it is. He wants everything absolutely perfect and uniform and weird. They are living things!

He has already made me get rid of four of my horses. I told him it's him or the remaining horses--so he backed off. The hatching egg sales pay for my 3 horses' hay (and HIS one horse's hay) every year. I used to raise/breed reptiles before I got into the poultry...he made me stop that because he said the lizards were gross, their heat lamps were a fire hazard and the crickets I had to feed them were "smelly & noisy." Now that I have chickens--it's all he gripes about. He brings it up several times a day/night. Tonight, he said it was really bothering him and that my chicken hobby is "weird & gross."

Oh, dear. Does he have any idea how messy babies are? He's in for a shock.

Here's a t-shirt for him. http://www.cafepress.com/+i_have_cdo_dark_tshirt,437328017

GAWD, that's perfect! LOL

Yes, he knows about messy babies...but that's "different" because it's a human--not a filthy animal....

Its amazing the differences between your place and mine... We hardly have any skeeters here at my place. LOTS of no-see-ums though... I think I would rather have the skeeters.

I, unfortunately, am plagued by the want & desire for great organization. It soothes my brain. I, jokingly, have asked DH for a pressure washer to hose the baby down so I don't have to be near all that disgusting matter. He said I could look inot marketing a baby bidet. Lol. Sounds like the OCD tendencies subside once kids are in the picture. Life isn't something we can control. I think those type-B's must live a much happier, relaxed life.

Prior to having kids I used to squirt soft-scrub with bleach on all the grout-lines on my kitchen counters and scrub them all witha toothbrush at least once per week, Everything in my house had its spot, and all was too clean. Now I just make sure the bathrooms are clean and there is a decent sized clean spot on the kitchen counter, and maybe I will get around to the rest some time during the year. I would have been disgusted walking into my own house a few years ago, but now I find that most people I know with kids the same ages as mine have homes in similar dissarray, and friends whose kids have moved away are back to having clean (but no longer spotless) homes.

As I sit here. My house is a complete mess... Dishes in the sink, floors need to be swept, toys strewn about, tiny little dirty socs lay where ever Chloe took them off... Hec I even have furnature up on my couches still... My dogs like to sneek up onto my couches at night. Thats a BIG no no here. Theres pizza boxes on the stove from lat night, my riding boots kicked off under a side table... Fish tanks have algea growth... Place is cluttered. BUT. It will only tae me 45 minutes to get it cleaned up. Everything besides laundry that is...
Need to have an electrician out to check my shop. The dryer is running on 110 instead of the normal 220... I only have one working plug in the entire shop... Outside fllod lamp no longer works, and even the stove upstairs is messed up. The previous tennant above the shop rewired the entire building to operate an illegal MJ grow set up... Since then nothing in that building has worked correctly...

They BITE! And on me leave a bigger lump than a skeeter does. They look like gnats, make no sound, but the females will take a teeny tiny CHUNK out of you!

Treading in dangerous waters there neighbor! LOL

I do have to agree though. Most women, well really ALL women are mean to men when in groups. Wether it just be in fun picking on them, or actually being mean. It does happen. I prefer to pick on those that I like. lol If I dont like someone they know from my cold shoulder. Some people are not worth the energy.

edited because could was NOT the word I was going for!

I guess so. I found all those breeds available at the time I want on mypetchicken. Since I'm ordering so few, I assume I need to get them all from the same place.
