A Life-Long City Man, Tired Of The Rat Race.

A life-long city man, tired of the rat race, decided he was going to give up the city life, move to the country, and become a chicken farmer.

He found a nice, used chicken farm, which he bought.

Turns out that his next-door neighbour was also a chicken farmer.

The neighbour came for a visit one day and said,

“Chicken farming isn’t easy. Tell you what. To help you get started, I’ll give you 100 chickens.”

The new chicken farmer was thrilled.

Two weeks later the new neighbour stopped by to see how things were going.

The new farmer said,

“Not too good. All 100 chickens died.”

The neighbour said,

“Oh, I can’t believe that. I’ve never had any trouble with my chickens. I’ll give you 100 more.”

Another two weeks went by, and the neighbour stops in again.

The new farmer says,

“You’re not going to believe this, but the second 100 chickens died too.”

Astounded, the neighbour asked,

“What went wrong? What did you do to them?”

Well, says the new farmer,

“I’m not sure whether I’m planting them too deep or not far apart enough.”
