This is a Public Service Announcement.
Do you or someone you love obsessively look at eggs on ebay or other auction sites? Do you spend more time on BYC then you spend talking to your family? Do you have energy-eating machines in your house that you just can't seem to unplug?
If this is you, you may be a victim of Egg Hatchitis.
This incurable disease is highly contagious and can be spread through word of mouth, over the internet, or even reading books. This disease effects millions from the ages of 2 to 120. Symptoms include:
Involuntary egg bidding (which usually results in further symptoms egg unwrapping, egg placement in incubator, and hyperventilating when eggs are due)
Obsessive searching of auction sites for hatching eggs
Wide varieties of rare fowl ranging from bantams to Emus in suburban backyards
Hatchitis can become extreme. If you have any of the following symptoms you may need to seek help:
Hiding of eggs and or incubator purchases from spouse or loved ones.
Ignoring of local HOA and Zoning laws
The need to increase coop sizes on a regular basis
Sleep talking the following phrases "'evil silkies' 'lavender Orpingtons' '...wyandotte'"
Random chicken stories at inappropriate moments, such as weddings...
There's a chicken in your car.
Frequenting BYC so often that the keys C-H-I-C-K-E-N-S no longer work on your keyboard and your 'real life' friends have forgotten you.
There is no cure for this disease. If you or a loved one are suffering from Hatchitis, there is nothing you can do but succumb and enjoy it.
Thank you.
