Most Chicks Run Away When You Approach Them — These Ones Did the Opposite

<p>They were one day old when I first got them.</p> <p>I bought around 24 of them.</p> <p>After weeks of preparation, I had a plan.</p> <p>I was going to be rich!</p> <p>And these chicks would be my golden geese. At the very least, their feathers looked golden.</p> <p>I had planned to start a golden chicken-churning project.</p> <p>Before execution, I had to do my homework. I knew of a friend who was doing the same. With every visit, he told me about his greatest challenges and potential remedies.</p> <p>In short, by the time my chicks arrived, I knew I was ready.</p> <p>Every day, I&rsquo;d disassemble a palette and use the pieces of wood to build my chicken coop. One plank at a time, I built my idea into a reality.</p> <h1>Businesses don&rsquo;t read business plans</h1> <p>The first week was terrible.</p> <p>One of the chicks almost died. It was from an unexpected risk of trying to be &lsquo;smart&rsquo;.</p> <p>I had planned to use warm water, stored in closed bottles.</p> <p>But as they cooled, they could easily be tipped into falling. Built-up pressure inside these bottles could then force open bottle tops.</p> <p>The spilled water would then counter my initial intention. And it did more than that.</p> <p>I could not keep the chicks outside. Nights could get extremely cold.</p> <p>So, I kept them in my room.</p> <p>Picture a room of someone in his twenties.</p> <p>The pile of dirty clothes is larger than the clean ones. The clean ones are not folded. The windows are hardly ever opened. The only aeration comes from opening the door.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@theonealternativeview/most-chicks-run-away-when-you-approach-them-these-ones-did-the-opposite-4a643c6d962d"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
