now he goes trotting down the garden to collect the eggs and feed the hens, and even worries about the new hens being bullied!  He says the eggs taste lovely too.  I haven´t reminded him he DID NOT WANT  under any surcumstances any hens, he got into quite a sulk when I started to build the hen house!  See it is ok to ignore hubbies after all

I'm pleased Jim loves them too now Pamela!  Now, where's that new member who said her hubby didn't want chooks??

[compostqueen]

I keep gazing out the window at the blank bit of garden where I intend to let them run about, and imagining a picket fence with a picket gate which I've painted green, and it will look so beautiful planted with chives and calendula, and I shall walk out into the dewy morning with my wicker basket picking beautiful brown eggs for my waiting guests breakfast  

I loves daydreamin. Could do it all day  

[naturesparadise]

ah day dreaming mine normally involves the women's Swedish surf team        













but for some reason they are beating me with there surf boards  :cry:

:oops:  :oops: I never listen to my hubby, tho I am quite lucky he is very easy going However, he has said in the past "whats to point in saying no, you will only go and do it anyway", so I guess he has sort of resigned himself to accepting all the animals as part of his wifey package

Ditto,  mine also knows when to admit defeat    

[Viv]

Same as mine Jellyhead, after 33 years he's given up and only occasionalyy raises objections to my plans.
He does get fully involved with everything though, its all a joint effort

[Lost in France]

Mine too, I actually think, though he'd never admit it    he loves the girls as much as I do!

Birthday, Christmas etc etc whenever he asks what you want...CHICKENS, CHICKENS, CHICKENS! Accept no excuses, they're easy to get someone to care for whilst you go away...if you can bare to leave them that is!

Alternatively, nag, nag, nag and nag a bit more!!  :twisted:

Or...how about buying them for him.... !

Good luck!

After 20+ years of being in the husband game, I know it's better to say yes and join in than be left out in the cold.

And I enjoy the chooks as much as Julie does. How else would I have got to build a wooden chalet style cabin ?

Admittedly I hadn't quite got a coop in mind but I played with my hammer and some wood.

Go for it CQ. Or make him take you on holiday.

[Jellyhead]

Oooh yes good idea, give him an alternative that he REALLY REALLY wont want and then the prospect of chooks will seem ok, failing that, do what I do, tell him you've got some, when he asks how many look down, flutter eyelashes and say er em don't ask you will kill me, lead him to think that you have gone and got 20or so, then, when you tell him its only 2,3,4 or 5 it will be a relief              

[NormandyMary]

OH's soon learn its in their best interest to keep us girls happy. Mine certainly has!! (Perhaps of he ever learns how to work the cooker, things will change...nah thinking about it, Im safe for life!!)

And when I get old I shall wear purple.......

So do I, & I do
