Am I just too sensitive? I have had several calls about my ducks for sale, but they only want one.....and then they ask about what they need. I just don't like selling people one duck. I tell them they need to have friends. One lady said, well, my dog can be it's friend.....what?! Do you guys sell just one of something to people who don't know anything about what they are getting? I told one lady "well, I have 3 ducks and 12 chicks left" and she responded, "Are chicks ducks?" Ugh!

I will be glad when Easter is over so I quite getting these kinds of calls/ I think people just want something cute to put in their kids easter baskets!

"well, my dog can be it's friend" = the moment I choked on my cereal.

People sure can be ridiculous.

I have my new bator and letting it run and now just waiting on my 2 dozen eggs to come in, they have been delayed :confused:  I already have one dozen sitting her just chilling.  More chicks coming soon my DH says I need to slow down, he is behind on building me more pens!!

Just to add alittle something to that- My dh refused to buy feed last Fall cuz he said I had too many chickens. I don't think he liked the winter with me after I had to sell all but 10 chickens. In January he started letting me get a few more and even let me place an order. Then he felt bad when half of the shipped chicks arrived doa. Of those ordered I was supposed to have gotten 5 WL but only 1 was brought back to life so I waited until TSC got some in. By the time they got some in I was up to 25 or so chickens. Dh said I couldn't have 50 or more again. Went into TSC, argued silently with myself then texted my dh that he would be so proud of me for coming out with NO CHICKS. After work that evening dh called me from TSC wanting to know where the WL pullets were! See, sometimes they say slow down but they secretly want you to be happy

The WL were sold out so 2 days ago I tried for the same result from dh when TSC got in sicilian Buttercups, cuckoo marans and dominiques. Uh, 10-4 on a no go: it only works once! Why would he help me build a 10'x10' chick house for no chicks? There is no slowing down...just sneaking in a couple when he isn't looking

chick house in progress- see the pop door to the left? That is in the juvenile pen so that I can do a small run when they are old enough to go out but may still need heat at night. What looks like workbenches will be 2 brooder pens. Right now the juvie pen has my 6 week olds in it but the pen won't stay like it is. I'm putting a door in the center and going all the way up with wire. And uh, yesterday the old feed shed had to be emptied to be readied for demolition. Guess where everything went?

Not too sensitive, no. I don't mind educating someone who at least appears to have made an effort. But these kinds of people clearly have not.
