Olson's Chicken Farm - Eggs for sale

So Ed decided it would be a really great idea if we got some chickens and had our own eggs. I didn't think we could have chickens in town but he said he asked and we could. So he bought the lumber for the chicken coop and the wire and all the stuff. I told him I was deathly afraid of chickens because we had them when I was growing up and the rooster always chased us when we went to get the eggs. Besides with the stink of chicken poop--and the crowing of the rooster I knew our neighbors would not be happy with us. But he was determined to do this and I couldn't change his mind. So he got on the internet and actually found a place where you could order chickens. Did you know you can get 20 baby chicks and 1 rooster for $35.00 not including shipping and handling. And they ship them UPS! Well, yesterday they showed up, the problem being that Ed didn't have the chicken coop ready yet. I called him and screamed "THE CHICKENS ARE HERE - what the H - E - double hockey sticks are we going to do with them!!!?? I don't see Ed panic much but he did rush home and there I was with this cardboard box of chirping chicks. Chessie was going crazy trying to get in the box.
And evidently they have to be kept warm and need food, water & shelter of which we had none!! I will not go into detail of the words spoken that night but I know a lot of repenting will have to be done. Ed decided the chicks would have to be put in the house for the night and well, I won't repeat what I told him. We rigged up a water pan and did you know baby chicks can eat dog food!! Today I am exhausted from no sleep, Ed is building a chicken coop and our house smells like chicken poop. And if it wasn't april fools day and if it was a true story Ed would be packing his bags to go live with his mommy!
