I haven't been interacting on BYC like I intended when I joined. Instead, I search for answers to questions and seek out silent support for any chicken issues which may pop up.
But as winter drags on, and my one-sided chicken conversations dangle on the edge of sanity, between reverence and obsession, I wonder if I am suffering from some sort of chicken keeping induced psychosis.
In other words; perhaps I'm not getting enough human interaction? So, here I am, on what is probably one of the least human-y forms of interacting... Forums.
I wanted to ask this question: Does anyone else go around picking up chicken poop all day, every day? Or, is this just some severe personal, obsessive flaw I have?
I only have three chickens, which I'm very surprised chicken math hasn't over taken me yet, and I pick up all poo from their tiny coop and run, as well as the driveway, patio, garage and yard if I see it. Some days I tell myself, "Not on this day! Today I will only pick up the coop!" But then I begin to feel very guilty and run around chasing poo!
As if chickens weren't bad enough, I am the pooper scooper for all cat and dog poops as well. Ugh... I feel like my life is all poop right now. It could be the crappy weather, fewer hours of sun or my meds aren't working any more... Or all of the above.
Can anyone relate to anything I'm saying here? Or am I just a but?

Yup, you officially have gone crazy! Lol
she views the chickens as her own personal treat dispensers.
Perhaps allowing "Chicken Maths" to get a hold would cure you of your poop obsession (or tip you over the edge!!). If you had more chickens it would become physically impossible to pick all the poop and then you would either lose the plot or accept that a poop free environment is not necessary or natural. 
,sorry there's no cure
