You know you're a backyard chicken owner when...

I have araucana eggs due to hatch 04/14 (this upcoming Saturday)

I can’t get anymore chickens until I get my new coop built.

You know you're a backyard chicken owner when you take all your dogs for a perimeter walk and look behind to see a parade of chickens coming with you. The.whole.10.acre.walk.

Frist nice to know I'm not the only crazy chicken person, and two how about when you request all friends and family send you all leftovers (that are chicken appropriate) to you for the chickens. And I've raised chicks and ducks in my bedroom (them having free run) because it was to cold outside for them.

OR when you go out of town and you're so paranoid that you write a book for the housekeeper so she doesn't mess up when taking care of the chickens...

I'm to paranoid to go out of town or even get to sick to take care of them myself!

When you reach into your pocket at the grocery store and find an egg, then wonder if they will think you stole it...

Or when I feel panic rising up when my parents say we’re taking a 2 week vacation. Nuuuu! I refuse to leave my chickens In the care of anyone else for two whole weeks!

I totally feel this! I'm away for a week. Spend all day worrying about hens. I have a few 'poorlies'. My friend who is looking after them is a vet, but has no experience with chickens!

When your on holiday and you nearly crash the car because your too busy looking into people's yards trying too see if they have chickens!

When you are rather sure the chickens are trying to talk to you. I have had a hen that would say something that sounded like 'no' and walk away if you asked a question at times. Also, my current rescue who is living isolated inside screams 'MAMA' when I leave the room.
