New Chicks

A man goes to his local bank and asks for a loan to start a chicken farm. The loan official asks him what exactly the loan is for-it is to buy new chicks.

The loan is okayed but a week later the man is back, seeking another loan to buy new chicks.

The loan officer asks"What happened to the first batch of chicks?", to which the man replies, "I don't know! I can't figure out if I'm planting them too close together or too far apart" .
