My good buddy started college, studying some subjects not on the college curriculum.  He was very interested in learning how to raise the best fighting chickens……He worked at crossing breeding the best fighting chickens he could. He didn’t go to the local chicken fights to fight his chickens. He just went to watch and learn. When he thought his chickens were ready, he took them to the local chicken fights. His roosters were fit and mature and ready to fight. He won all his fights and took his chickens home. The old pros at the fights were amazed at this young newcomer. Who was he and were did he come from? The next morning he got a call from the man whose chickens he had whipped The old veteran chicken fighter wanted to know what kind of chickens he had..?  My friend said he crossed bred these chickens……he crossed Allen Round Heads with South American Hatch and then crossed these with Colonel Grey and Typewriters.   The next question was how many chickens do you have.??  My friend said he had a bunch but not sure how many…..?? The man was interested in buying all his chickens and wanted to know how much for all of them….??  My friend wasn’t sure  what the chicken market was or how much he could ask for his chickens, so he just grabbed a figure and told the man what he would sell them for.  The man said he would buy them for that price and be there the next morning to pick them up. My friend said he showed up and bought all his chickens.  He said it was much more than he had expected. He had no idea he could make so much money so quick by going to college.

 

He had to reinvest his holdings now and needed a new college interest .  He said college was a lot more profitable than he expected.
