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

[SkyWarrior]

You have chicken poop and feathers in your hair -- and don't notice.

 

[Swissmiss989]

You take them to a show and you dont care about the ribbons. You just can't wait to have your babys home

 

[SkyWarrior]

when you go to pick up a couple of roosters at someone's farm and are jealous of the coop they have.

and

when you see how few chickens they have and offer to incubate a batch of eggs just for them!

 

[dldolan]

When you proudly state,"Norbert crowed for the first time today and had relations with the Wheaten Ameraucana pullet right in front of me!!" and your DH says, " What on earth are you talking about?"
and
you fend off the older hens so your youngest pullet can try and use the nest box for the first time to lay and egg, and you complain to [fill in the blank] about their behavior...


And the rest of you are right there with me, so don't laugh TOO much!!!!

When you spend more money taking care of them then you do on groceries for your family...
When you make necklaces out of your roosters spurs that they have lost humanely of course.....
When you dust the butts of your babies to prevent parasites and refer to it like powdering your baby's bottom....
When you tell your girls daily to stop picking on eachother because they will ALL look goood in the show.....
When you drive 15 ro 20 miles to the store just to pick up "treats" for the chickens or have the hubbie do it on the way home from work

Just a few I will post more as I come up with them

 

[Parrotchick]

People anonymously leave you egg cartons on your porch and vehicle.

When there's a stray feather floating around, like one from a down jacket, and everyone looks at you.

Backyard?? How about spare bedroom? The button quail are molting like mad

Okay, you know you're addicted to raising backyard chickens when you go out to feed and have to watch where you step to avoid squishing someone

This is me too, with the 6 babies that just hatched out 2 weeks ago

When you use your kid's green turtle sandbox for DE for the chickens to dustbathe in.....Then search furiously for the lid to it because you don't want the DE to get wet.
