An increase.

Before world war 2 we lived on a farm at Carrollton AR. Daddy's brother Truman lived below Denver AR. This was some distance to travel in the wagon or sometimes daddy would go visit alone on horse back. Uncle did the same. one day daddy was visiting Truman. Uncle had 6 cats in his barn and daddy didn't like cats and never had one on the place. Daddy told his brother you need to thin out your cats. Truman said I like them, father went around to ever neighbor and gathered all the cats that he could. After 2 weeks he had 30. On a day when uncle was in town daddy paid Truman a visit with a sack filled with cats. He released the cats into his brother's barn weeks later Truman came to visit. He said he had so many cats he didn't know what to with them. Truman said I have tried to count and I think I have 45.This spring I am going to order 100 banty chickens. You can only get staight run which will be 40/60, 40 pullets and 60 roosters. When I can sex them I am going to visit my brother on a day when I know he is working . clayton is going to have an increase of roosters.
