you go to the store for feed and come home with two more chicks.

you go to the store for feed and come home with two more chicks.

Or you assign your husband to be your intervention. "Ok, honey, I canNOT have more chicks this year. It's your job to stop me."

You know you're addicted to chickens when...

--You spend your entire Saturday afternoon making more nesting boxes for them, although they already have six good ones.

--Absolutely refuse to eat chicken because it is "completely and utterly unethical".

--When you practice the religion known as "Chickenanity".

--When you'd rather sit in the coop all night instead of sit in your room.

--When you post daily on B.Y.C.

You know you're addicted to chickens when..........You read all the posts on this thread and nod your head for most of the replies.

This one almost makes all the following quotes moot.

you see a loaf of bread left over from food day at work, make sure nobody's looking, and swipe it out of the trash can. Also applies to partially eaten leftover pizza.

Been there, done that, and just discovered it's the ONLY thing about retiring this month I will miss from work!

You know you're addicted to backyard chickens when...
You realize late at night that you forgot to shut the chicken door, and run outside in you pajamas to shut it. Good thing we have a privacy fence! No nasty coons are getting my girls! (Lord willing)

... you open your chicken pen in the morning and the wave of chickens rivals the biblical exodus from Egypt...AND you stand there and greet most of them by name as they enter the pasture!

<*raising hand*> Me too!

You get excited and try to figure out what breed they are when you see chickens in a movie or on TV.

... someone makes a reference to chickens, and all of your peers automatically look to you!

This is very familiar to me.

When you take a short road trip and spend most of the time looking for chickens in people's yards.

Absolutely! "Is that a coop? Where are the chickens? Oh - darn, what a waste of a coop!!"

When you make a game out of going to the store ... any store...
Rules?
No rules... Just find the chicken, any chicken. All stores have them you know. I have seen it.

You spend more time on BYC than you do with your chickens =]

 

[anonymous hen]

When you :
haunt BYC
think more about chickens than the fact that your moms pregnant
can't wait 'til your dad builds the coop
constantly annoy your parents about chicken facts
realize your moms only thinking about the fact that you'll be forced to not bite your nails when you get the chickens
find yourself dreaming of one day being a veterinarian and chicken farmer one day
stop talking about them when mom threatens to throw away the ''chicken book'' or not get chicks for you if you don't
read and look at just about anything that looks to deal with chickens
.....and especially when you could continue on FOREVER!!!!!!!!

when you go to the fram store and your wife says ..ok hunny u can do this ..all we need is feed today!..she turns her back for 5 mins.and walla ..already boxing 5 more chicks !!!

 

[farmerswifeony]

wake up after three hours of sleep on a saturday morning run to each childs room and wake them up for the poultry auction an hours drive away.

 

[Ilovemyduckies]

when you have baby chicks in your bedroom
when you refer to chicks as "your babies"
when a friend comes over and you ask if they want to play with the girls

I do that! Every time I go outside "Where are my babies?"
