Has this ever happened to you?

Sometimes when I see chickens while watching tv or driving around I say "hey look chickens! An that's a *chicken breed* oh look an there is a *chicken breed*" an then my family just looks at me like "what?" Becuase they have no idea what I'm talkin about... Like today we drove by somebody's yard an there was some OEGB chickens an I was like look there is some Old English Game Bantam! An my family looked at me like I was speaking another language... Has that ever happened to you?

Happens all the time. My husband thinks I'm nuts. Made him stop one day going to his dad's home in Livingston to see a coop in someone's backyard!!

Haha yes I've tried to get my mom to stop to look at one but of corse i did not get to look at it..

Oh, yes, that has happened to me, fairly regularly. One, I LOOK for chickens and coops when I drive around. Sometimes I see places that would be PERFECT for chickens and will say so out loud.

As for seeing them in movies or on TV, I cannot help it. Cracks me up when period pieces ("Vikings" for example) have breeds which were not available back then. I sure don't think the Vikings kept Delawares.... But the gaggle of Toulouse geese were historically correct for the monastery the Vikings sacked.

I do that to! I also point out things that would make great chicken coops

The chicken part is new, but I'd been doing it with horses since we were married, so my honey's used to it. Before it was "please turn around, I want to see that Appy's pattern again". Now it's " I think those were barred cochins, can we go back and check?" He's such a good man..............

Haha, this DOES happen to me all the time! My husband thinks I'm a chicken expert. If he only knew, there's sooo much more I could learn!

Usually I get asked oh that's a funny looking chicken what is that? Sometimes we will be at a show or something and I will say that's a "some breed" and look at me like what are you talking about.
