When you forget that your wearing your barn shoes when you go out,
And you look behind you and see a trail of dirt and mud.

When even the police can't find your house.

....When you walk into the local Rural King, only to find out that you're carrying a green, freshly-laid EE egg and the coop keys in your pocket.

When your boss calls you a chicken whisperer.

When your barn is more organized then your house

...Really? I don't even bother washing stuff from the supermarket. It'd never occur to me to wash an apple fresh off the tree.

Ooh, that kind of reminds me, all the wild blackberries around here should have at least a couple of nice berries. And if the council mown the area nearby lately, I can go and grab some clippings. The last lot went down a treat with the chickens.

When your Americana lays 111 eggs under the house.

OMGOSH!!! A couple of years ago I kept my flock in "summer quarters", with a shelter made from 4 x 8 plywood built like a tent, with a 2 x 2 ridge pole, and constructed on top of a pallet AND fully painted.
I though in July that they had stopped laying. NO!!!! They were digging underneath the pallet!!! I found over 100 eggs, all in various stages of chick development, since I kept roosters with them.
I am SOOOOOOOO much happier with a real coop so that they cannot hide the eggs. ALL hens were EE's.
