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.
