....when you eat beans and rice every night so the girls can have greek yogurt and fresh fruit and veggies....

When one of your roosters goes missing (one that you raised from an egg) and you canvas your neighborhood in tears passing out your phone number to all your neighbors hoping they will see your "baby" and call. I don't need an intervention just yet, but pretty sure it won't be long.

You know you're addicted to chickens when:

You get up at 6:00 a.m., the thermometer outside says it's 5 degrees, and you proceed to put on a pot of hot oatmeal with raisins, honey, sunflower seeds and a dash of cinnamon for your chickens before you've even made your own coffee yet!!!!

 

[lauriruth]

when your snack time conversation goes:

"Share, please."
"Galinda, BE NICE."
"Don't you talk back to me, young lady!"

Seriously....

OMG, that's funny.

My JG was pecking at my BO this morning and not sharing the cantaloupe guts I had put out. She really nailed her hard a few time so I pulled her aside and was scolding her. I was saying "Don't pick on your Sister! I'm not going to let you eat if you pick on your sister! It's not nice and it's not called for." And of course my JG was trying to get away from me to get back to her eating.

Someone walked by and cleared their throat loudly and I thought, Ugh. I hope someone doesn't think I'm yelling at my child. OH wait, THEY ARE MY CHILDREN! I fully expect child protective services to be at my door when I get home tonight.

I might have some explaining to do!

Everyone is talking about hurricane irene and the damage it could cause to your house or self and all you can think about is " are the chicken coops safe enough for my chickens"

 

[JD4570]

You think of building a second story on the chicken house to be closer to the "kiddos".

You go shopping at Wal-Mart are very disappointed that they don't carry foghorn leghorn boxers...do you where some are?

You no longer think of putting 41 more eggs in a bator... instead you want to put 41 more in EACH of the bators.

You go to sleep you count peeps instead of sheep.

you buy them a diaper do they can be with you!

You know you are addicted to chickens when you think it is just the cutest thing that the whole flock will walk right into the house to explore even though you know they are likely to poop on your carpet within the next sixty seconds.

Or when you walk into your closet and find your favorite hen brooding in the back corner, she looks up at you, and let's out a soft "b-o-o-o-o-ck!" like "What?"..........AGAIN!! She always seems to know where to go. lol!
