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

[thekid]

when you have the feed store on speed dial.

 

[7&8]

...you let them finish harvesting the vegetable garden because you're busy working on their coops.

We SO need a LIKE button!


You secretly have chickens even though it is against the CC&Rs of your HOA.

You hug em, love em, kiss em every day

Watching and being with them is your main choice for relaxation.

You buy 4 dozen eggs to hatch when you get a broody, give some to her and put the rest in the bator. Hoping to add 2 hens to the flock.

Sleep by the bator when it's time to hatch so you can fret about helping, even though you're not supposed to.

Keep 5 of your favorites from the hatch only to have them turn out to be roosters, but feel like it was worth it anyway; it means you get to do it all again because you still want to add 2 hens to the flock.

You bring the rooster in to your bathroom in the morning and keep him in the shower so he can crow without the neighbors hearing for as many days/weeks as it takes to find a home for him.

Dream about being able to afford property where you can keep dozens of hens and roosters too.

You know it's been years since you started the chicken addiction when none of your 8 kids know what store eggs are, and your 18 yo calls telling you how awful they are his first week of college.

You share your delicious melon,strawberries and blueberries with them.
You talk to them like they understand what you are saying!

. . . the brooder is never empty.

You refuse to BBQ chicken in the backyard in front of your chickens because it just doesn't seem right.
