All this homesteading talk has got me thinking. I remember last year, when I stopped at Tractor Supply I saw this area with tiny itty bitty chirping sounds. I was so excited to see a bunch of chicks in there. I was so excited to show Corynn-but this was last year and so she was smaller and less interested than she would be now. Anyway-I was dumbfounded when I saw the sign and it read these chicks were for sale for $ .89 a piece. I thought-"oh my goodness! A real live living creature that can grow up and provide eggs and meat for you costs less than a cheeseburger at McDonalds that is swallowed up with momentary satisfaction." The only long-lasting benefits of a cheeseburger is the added insulation it provides in winter. How's that for a dollar spent?!

cheeseburgers do get really difficult to take care of after several months. and a little chick could always be let go. cheeseburgers tend to hang around where you set them down. but, i'll tell you, if you leave your cheeseburger laying around for long enough it will eventually get as furry as the cutest little chick. it might even start to make noise. at least your stomach will if you eat the cheeseburger.
