What do you do for a living?

[forrestacres]

I am a legal secretary and my DH is a UPS driver. I also have a side business knitting and crocheting pieces to sell, either as custom orders or through a local artisan cooperative and living farm museum gift shop. I received my ladies as a gift for Mother's Day this year because our son went off to college this fall and left us with an "empty nest." My ladies are the best!

This is great fun. What a variety of careers. It just shows us that all kinds of people love chickens.

What I remember from several years ago when I first joined the board were folks in the Midwest who had hundreds and hundreds of chickens, more for commercial reasons, but had a few as pets. It was great fun to hear their stories.

I'm Operations manager at a smalll company that refurbishes satelite communications gear for the milatary. I come home and talk to my chickens they make a lot more sense than some of the goverment employees i deal with.

Very funny. Know what you mean. I find talking to my chickens a whole lot more fun, too.

Are you ex-military?

I own a millwork shop. We build custom window and doors, cabinets, mantles, bars, pretty much anything you can build from wood or pvc. We specialize in custom one-of-a-kind things, and a large segment of our business is standard wood, vinyl, pvc, and aluminum windows and wood, steel and fiberglass doors you find at the big 'box stores'. Our niche is one-on-one customer service and design.

I 'employ' my husband, 2 out of 3 of my sons (the other is away in college), my 83-year old father (how could you not dip into his 65 years of construction know-how?), a nephew and a cousin. Yes, we also specialize in nepotism.

We have been very blessed in this economy to still be opening our doors everyday, and have a 2 week waiting list for appointments.

P.S.: You'd think I would have'an "in" when it comes to getting coops built, but it seems to be a case of 'the cobbler's son having no shoes'....I do have a lot of 'raw materials' to work with, however!
