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

[Ladynblkus Hen]

when you start talkin to them!

 

[birdygal]

You know you are addicted to chickens when they come to you individually when you call their names. (I am in agreement to talking to chickens as someone else posted. Another sign of addiction.)

 

[yogakitty]

When 3 out of 4 of your guaranteed future egg layers turn out to be roosters, and you start pressing flesh like a politician to win the neighbors over to roosters. (2 out of 3 think its quaint, for now.)

In case that doesn't work, you get 3 more guaranteed chicks.

Ever hopeful you experiment with managing the crowing. Bringing treats out before he starts, no. Trying to train like a puppy not to bark, nope. Not opening the coop until post crowing time, sort of, for now.

Next is having the crowing rooster sleep in the house.

you sit outside with them every afternoon when you let them out to "free range" and you allow them to roost on your leg and/or arms....

 

[CBarrett]

you use a bandaid to rehab the chick that has splay-leg then video her progress and post it to Facebook! lol

My finish to the sentence: "You know you're addicted to chickens when...you always talk about hanging out with "the girls" when conversation lulls.

 

[Christie Loves Silkies]

You know you're addicted to chickens when...
You have dreams about them escaping the coop and trying to fly.
When your outside all day taking photos of them.
You come home early from work/school because you miss them.
When you sleep cuddled up outside with them.

Might be addicted when------you can name all 38 chickens but constantly call your 19 year old son by the dog's name!!

...you go out to count birds and realize that you have 287...and that is outside...I am hopeless! Terri O
