Finish this sentence: "You know you're addicted to chickens when..."

This is so true..

 

[amillecay]

When you draw a stick person with chicken feet on accident

 

[amillecay]

or when you have a ton of egg cartons in your basement which are over flowing out of the box

 

[JesseS]

The only thing you do is talk about chickens

 

[WTRfarmgirl]

You have as many pictures of your chickens as you do your grandkids!

You know you're addicted to raising backyard chickens when...

... The staff at not one but two grain and fodder shops know you and greet you by name.

... You're a member on a forum called "Backyard Chickens".

... You check on said forum every morning.

... You spend five hours building and re-building a new perch, because it's never *just right*.

... Your father helps you move about half of your chickens into your new coop. After you're done, he asks how many you've just hauled across the property... and when you say 23, he shakes his head and says, "That's a lot of chickens, Rachel. I hope you know what you're going to do with them all..."

... You go into a cheap shop and see portable covered plastic kitty litter containers for $5.99... and you buy two because they'd make a perfect nesting box.

... You're saving up money for (a) a course on poultry raising, and (b) fertile copper marans eggs... oh, and (c) a car.

... Your parents have summarily banned you from purchasing any more chickens/chicks/eggs until spring... which is still about four months away!

When you buy something, anything, and you think "Will the chickens like this?" when the chickens wont even catch a glipse of it.
