DO people think your crazy

Date sort Score sort
My sister called me up laughing after reading about Ann Arbor, Mi, legalizing them. She said, "I used to calle you Crazy Chicken Woman, but now I know you were really cutting edge!" (They still think I am goofy.)

There are days when I think, I MUST be crazy. I actually got chickens after many years of wanting them, I am getting an incubator, and......I love it more every day.
Looking back over the last few months (shakes head) who would of thought.
Am I crazy, I don't know, possibly. I worry about them, check them several times a day, dream about chickens at night, talk to them all the time. Think of new treats to give them, ways to improve the coops. The kids and I jumped up and down and hugged and danced and turned on music when we got our first egg.

A very young "professional" my daughter sees, gave us a very strange look when my little girl excitedly told she got a silkie chick for christmas and proceded to tell her how cute it was and its name. The "professional's" comment, You have THEM in the house? "Yes, in a cage, just like any other bird in a house and it is only a week old". I felt angry at her comment and her attitude. I realized then, I must look crazy to the "professionals". I was waiting for the paddy wagon with padded walls to come and get me.

The staff where I worked, has asked DH all kinds of questions after he proudly told them all we got chickens and we are putting in a garden. The doctors are the biggest surprise, a few said smart move with the economy, The one comment that stands out from an educated person wasn't how he was raving over farm fresh eggs being the best and so good, it was the "brown" eggs, are farm eggs, aspect of it. When DH told me, well.....roflmao..... I then had to try real hard

Atleast DH knows better, and I would be preaching to the choir (note to self, do not put white eggs in that guys carton).

Do people think I am crazy, probably, but now we hang out in feed stores, so I know I am understood there. They have chickens too.

Sorry so long.
 
I stopped telling people about my chickens.
The teasing was too much for me. *sigh*
Now I live a double chicken life.

CRAZY? certifiable!
I don't mind though. I am not the same as all the other Orange County cookie cutter women. I was at lunch one day after I had been out at the ranch caring for my little flock. I had my jacket on and I was chatting then I remembered, oh yeah, I picked up an egg. I was right in the middle of a sentence when I reached up and pulled an egg out of my breast pocket of my jacket. My friend started laughing and laughing! she couldn't believe it! she still tells the story of the crazy chicken lady. (me)
 
When I am with a person that I know would appreciate it, I bring it up. When I first got my girls I would be so exited I would tell everyone that came to the house but by the way some reacted I learned who I can talk to about it & who makes stupid remarks. Some people just dont get it & I'm at the point where I dont have to convince people that it's relaxing and that I'm not stupid for having chickens as my hobby
 
Do people think I am crazy?? Well...let see. The other day I was in our local Burger King. My DIL works there, and she and I were talking. She went to get my order, and I heard another little gal say " whos is that" When my DIL told her this gal said..." THATS the crazy chicken lady???" I Almost died laughing! She smiled at me...and as I was leaving she waved her hand at me and said " Bye crazy chicken lady"
