You know you love your chickens when...

Good morning all!

You know you love your chickens when you are thinking that you will not attend your son's college track meet because the incubated eggs will be on day 21...
And my son hasn't run for a year due to injury...  so much stress is not good for me!  

I can see you all now.   Did I mention that it is a 5 hour drive to the meet and it lasts 2 days?

if he is your child he will understand. There are always more meets bit a chicken only hatches once in their life time just saying

Some of you I think have taken this far beyond love and well into the range of obsession. Have any of you considered therapy?

You know you love your chickens when......

You get a warm, squishy homesick feeling whenever you hear a rooster crowing.

You find it hard to convince yourself it's worth getting out of bed in the morning if you don't hear one.

You know you love your chickens when.....

You rotate your entire schedule and appointments around candle dates and hatch dates, and spend nearly your whole day beside the incubator on hatch day.

when you tromp through calf deep snow In your jammies to let the girls out by 7 am on the weekends because you don't want them to get too cranky.

You lose your phone doing errands and the first thought that pops into your head is that all your chicken pictures are gone.

IDon't laugh, but I am not a helicopter parent. But I do love watching him run!
