Gave me a chuckle!!

Oh how true!

This would make a good t-shirt.

Jaye..yes it would but you would have to keep pushing the people aside standing in front of you reading your shirt just to get down the street :running-chicken:

LOL, Tom - true enough. Maybe just print it on the back. Then you'd look like a popular leader.

Charismatic even..lol....not me...although the girls follow me around while I'm doing chores..

That is 100% the truth

LOL! This is so TRUE!!!!!! It's one of the reasons I started to sell at auctions, so I wouldn't have to deal with these people. I think I have had everyone of those people ten times over. The one I remember the most was a lady who went on and on about not wanting roosters and asked me every question possible. I was offering Barred Rock chicks, five weeks old, I knew by then who was male and female so I could assure her hens, I wanted to move them so I was only asking $7, after going on and on for about half an hour, she said she wanted to look around, fifteen minutes later she comes back all worried, "I just bought those day old barred rock chicks for $10 a piece, they're so cute but what am I going to do if they turn out to be roosters"?

I had one person buy from me-well started pullets. They had been out free ranging my place with my bird friendly lab. So when they got home with their 3 "babies" they threw them into the backyard and let their dog out. They called me wanting to know if i knew of any vet that could stitch up the one pullet whose tail had been pulled out, the other 2 were dead....and why did the dog attack them when they lived with a dog before?! Didnt they know how to fight the dog off?
When i told them that you need to train the dog not to eat the chickens they apparently got some more from an auction and then the bylaw people showed up because to escape the dog all the girls went to the neighbours backyard and the dog ate throuh the fence and killed the chickens AND the neighbours bunny and cat.

$10 says it was a Husky. Great with people, and kills everything wlse.
