Day-old Chicks

The best story was the one about how Larry got started making coops. At this point I must tell you that Larry and his wife, besides being delightful entertaining people, are Romanian and perhaps some of the hardest working people I have met. He is a contractor, she is a nurse, and they build these coops and deliver them (in their spare time) because he is an entrepreneur and she loves to travel—this in addition to raising their two preschool-aged children.

Spending an hour in Larry’s backyard with his lovely wife and daughter, hunting dogs and dozens of chickens, we were regaled with stories of delivering coops over the Rockies (blowing two transmissions on the way—the one negative feedback on ebay was from the woman who didn’t believe their excuse for being two days late), changing a coop from red to blue on the road in order to satisfy a customer in Montana, and even traveling to Ohio to get a champion chicken to add to their flock. They might be as insane as I am when it comes to hitting the road for a good deal!
