. . . interested in having chickens.
Here is an idea that might catch his interest
:
Bantams are sooo cute! Tiny, tiny little chicks that grow up to be . . . little chickens!
Some bantams are actual breeds and they are pretty cool. Let's not worry about them for awhile, tho'.
Some bantams are miniatures of larger breeds. Something like Barred Plymouth Rocks are little square hens you could easily fit in the box that comes with a pair of lady's shoes. Might even get 2 in there.
Of course, it is real cute to have a flock of all the same barred chickens running around but Mr. Roo can be something different. He thinks he is plenty different anyway! He can be a Rhode Island Red bantam. He will put on quite a show with those shiny red feathers.
And their chicks? Marshall, you will know from the time those cute little chicks come out of the shells whether they are male or female. Since people are usually looking for chicks, you'll be able to say, "Welp, that one over there, tugging on that stem of grass. That's a boy. And, this one here sitting on the toe of my boot. That's a girl." And just like that, those will be sold and go off down the road to another person's chicken coop. You'll have the Moms and the Dad and they will still be looking with great interest & excitement at whatever you bring them from your garden or kitchen.
