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

You know you're addicted to chickens when you go from 12 birds to 600 birds and they consume every aspect of your life. That is where I am now and I love it!

When you lock up the flock before freezer camp meetings, not for shocking them, but because they will be underfoot or on the table to eat the tidbits and might get hurt or punted.
 
When you talk to your family about chickens and all they tell you "be quite! We dont want to hear about chickens!"

(Thats why I am on hear all the time so i can talk to sombody about chickens and not get laughed at

When your on BYC for 2 minutes but it ends up being 2 hours
 
You know you're addicted to raising backyard chickens when...You constantly stalk your craigslist and classifieds for chickens just to compare your flock to someone else's.
...You are called a hoarder by the people who live around you for apparent reason.
...You buy vegetables, not for your family, but for your chickens.
...You have company over and you feel the need to inform them about your chickens, hands on ; "Would you like to hold my chicken? This one's my favorite."
...You know every single chicken in flock by name color and date of birth.

...You know the difference between a cockerel, pullet, hen, rooster and banty/bantam.
...You would sit and watch your chickens for hours in your free time.
...You can't trust anyone else to care for your hens the way you do, you're too attached.
 
When you tell everyone you meet about the kinds of chickens you are raising, and about the benefits of line breeding;

When you brag about all the blue, green, blue-green, olive, turquoise, robins-egg, mint green, sky blue, etc eggs you are getting from your hens;

When you spend more on chicken food than you do your own food!!
