LOL!!!! OK here is the deal....tell him there are advantages to having your own hens, like fresh eggs, do you know that eggs in the store are usually about 2-3 weeks old (or more) and the nutrition content of typical store eggs is WAY different from free range or cage free eggs. The chickens don't really have to take up much space, and they control insect populations including scorpions and they don't make that much noise and make great fertilizer for your lawn or garden. Plus your friends and neighbors will all appreciate any eggs you don't use, although my husband's favorite benefit from the eggs was HOME MADE pasta....so yummy. Seriously though, if you ever convince him I can give you any info you need! Glad I found you too....mom's with special kids need to stick up for each other ;-)
I am a do it your self kind of girl. I am a wife, a mother of four special children, one that has a lot of difficult challenges due to a brain injury during his birth. I am a "farmer" so to speak, raising 22 chickens, 29 rabbits, 2 turkeys, 2 geese, 2 ducks, a wonderful vegetable and herb garden. I am a self taught artist, and a wanna be builder....occasionally a plumber when my four year old flushes things down the toilet. Often I am a mediator. I LOVE to be a cook. I am a published author. I love to sing. I love to design, sew and knit. I love exploring different cultures. I want to see all the wonders of the world. I want to be self sufficient. I have a crazy life, but I love life....most of the time. I am almost always a little bit lost, incredibly passionate about the things and people I love. This is my life....
Will you adopt me and let me move in with you? I want a chicken so bad, and my husband will NOT let me do it! :(
