was at Cal Ranch today Sue was getting baby ducks, chickens and turkeys. Watching people buy for baby chickens and a big bale of wood shavings . Just have to smile at all the wood shavings they sell.

My wife buys wood shavings all the time and they just make a mess - - - but on the bag it says they are the perfect bedding and the people who print the bags can't be wrong!

Yes it is a con game and several are very good at it!

The feed and supplies people buy after is what makes the chick days so good for the retailers.

My wife and kids came home from the city one day with a pet hamster, and a 40 pound bag of wood shavings.
I'm not a fan of rodents and she countered my "really?" statement with how the kids wanted it so bad......
She was a bit embarrassed when I said the rat didn't bother me as much as the expensive bag of sawdust.
Said hamster lived about a week.
