If you told me years ago I’d be at home, in my housecoat, gently wiping a baby chick's butt to clean it, I would have told you that you were crazy. But here we are. 🤣 The last two months have been a wild, hilarious, and surprisingly emotional ride behind the scenes while I've been working on mortgages for my clients.
So long story short, my wife, Jenn, had been dropping hints about wanting backyard chickens for a while. I was on the fence until a few months ago when we were at the grocery store, and I saw a dozen eggs for $7.99. $7.99! I looked at Jenn and said, yep, we're getting chickens. Next thing you know, Mother's Day rolls around, and Jenn is getting a chicken coop and I was building it.
On a real note, it hasn't all been easy. As anyone who raises animals knows, it's a fragile process. We did lose a few along the way. I never thought I’d get so attached to these little things, and it was genuinely heartbreaking for the family after trying so hard to care for them. But we're keeping at it, learning as we go, and they are growing like crazy.
But yeah, if you need me in the next little bit, I'll be answering your mortgage questions while moonlighting as a Lower Sackville poultry supervisor. 🐓💼
