Yay for Hubby, Yay for Me!

Oh yes...I play very stupid with all things involving electrical and metal. I handle wood and plumbing. Works for me. he says things like...

"You had a general contractor's license don't tell me you know nothing about electrical wiring"

to which I reply...

"Yes dear..CONTRACTOR not electrician, I will build it and YOU wire it"

Now what he does not know is...I only took the GC test because my cousin failed it four times and said it was sooooo hard...so I took it to prove it was not hard and passed.

So I kept it for about 10 years and it helped me building projects on my home back in Florida.

pppfffftttttt your timing is off...it only took me from Dec. - Jan to order my first 6...then In June I got 5 one week olds and by May I had him letting me order 21 more....Now I have him building the chicken fortress.

I preferred to discuss it with him right about the time he was falling asleep...he always said "Okay Baby...whatever you want"

Timing ladies it is all in the timing.

Well, I have about 40 right now--and that includes 12 different breeds.

Hmmm...great advice. I shall find the delicate balance between doing everything on my own & having to do it all on my own! Good idea! Plus, I have a great "Puss 'n Boots" face!

Oh dear... am I feeding this dominating society of chickens?

If you build it, they will hatch...

Congratulations! It really is a lot easier than most people think... I've done most of the work on our coops, and hubby helps when I need an extra hand or when he wants to work on something. He teases me that he married me for my tools!

You sure are! The eggs you sent look great, BTW!

I'm hoping it's easier than I think! I'm looking for another design for a brooder coop....a mini coop with a heat lamp that is draft-proof....what do you use? The plastic tub in the spare bedroom is starting to wear thin on hubby.

Oh honey, you don't EVEN want to go there... my "breeders coop" with built-in brooder pen is a $5,000 cabin with a waiting list for boarders...

Hahahaha *wipes away tears of laughter...*

Seriously. I haven't posted updated photos of it, but if I ever decide to get out of the chicken biz, we will have renters.

I'm glad the eggs are looking good...

for the day you say you see veins!! I think I see some in the ones I set on Wednesday!!!!!

 

[Rare Feathers Farm]

Wow, a $5k cabin?

They are pretty dark (the eggs) but I think I've got a candler to do the trick, so we'll see! I have four Salmon Favs that are rockin' right now so I moved them into the hatching 'bator...

 

[Mrs MIA]

Yep...

12'x20'... fully insulated, wired, and an autowatering system designed by hubby.

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing... my new mott-o.

 

[Rare Feathers Farm]

WOW! Do you rent out hubby with $ & power tools?
