Do people look at you weird when you say you have pet chickens?

As you can see below we don't entertain your run of the mill cat/dog pet. I've had my tiel for 12 years and my buns for 8 so those that know me I think are just use to it and think its funny. Those just meeting me are definetly -ill say intrigued when I say chicken/duck. Lol

But I get more stink eye when I say "house rabbit" than I do from chicken. "they live in your house?? Where do they go to the bathroom?? Are they hard to train??". The answers are yes. In a box like a cat. And no. But the chicken are more fun to talk about because everyone seems to think they are incredibly stupid so I love to contradict their beliefs. I guess all my other animals are deemed semi intelligent

I told my friend that I'd have to clean up after my chickens later and he was like do you live on a farm. I laughed and told him I live two streets away from a busy road.

I recently had one of my pet chickens a 7 year old Speckled Sussex hen die and when I put a tribute to her on facebook I got many different reactions. You could tell the true chicken lovers that sent their condolences. Most of them could not believe I would put a tribute to a chicken on facebook

The good news is that her last few moments she laid an egg after 2 years of no eggs. I have it in the incubator and it is actually developing. I am hoping for a nice speckled Sussex rooster out of her to carry on the genetics. RIP Tilly!
 
Yes, I get made fun of a lot. Honestly hurts my feelings sometimes...

Gosh forbid I put something about my chickens on FB anymore...I have people that absolutely LOVE to belittle me on there for it...gets to the point that I block them from seeing my wall posts...but it makes me wonder how many people that CAN see it are really only laughing at me in private...

Whenever one of my chickens dies, I am always very upset. but if I tell my friends, they will just say. " don't worry, its just a chicken. at least it wasn't a cat or dog".
