A life-long city slicker got tired of the rat race one day, so he decided to move out to the country and become a chicken farmer. He found a nice, used chicken farm and bought it. It turned out his next-door neighbor was also a chicken farmer. The nieghbor came over for a visit one day and said "Chicken farming ain't easy. I teel you what; I'll give you 100 chickens to help get you started."
The new chicken farmer was thrilled. Two weeks later the new neighbor paid another bisit to see how the chickens were doing.
"Not too good," the new farmer said. "All the chickens died."
"I can't believe that!" said the neighbor. "I have never had problems with any of my chickens. I'll give you 100 more."
Another two weeks went by, and the neighbor paid another visit. The new farmer told him, "You're not going to believe this, but all those chickens died too!"
Astounded, the neighbor asked, "What went wrong? Have you been doing something to them?"
The new farmer said, "Well, I'm not sure whether I'm planting them too deep, or too close to each other."
