The problem is that there's just TOO MANY TYPES of beautiful chickens!!!
It starts off with " oh, they're so pretty I want 6 of them" then "ooh, look at this breed, I want some!", then "But look at those ones!". and so on, and so on.......

For the longest time I kept telling myself, "I'll just get only one of each breed, variety is the spice of life"....
Do you know HOW MANY different breeds there are. I don't have enough room.

It's a beautiful addiction...and much worse than bringing home plants for the garden. Tomato plants just aren't as cute!

You know you're going to have to wait 6 months for that omelete, right?
Can you imagine what happens when both husband and wife are chicken addicts?

Thats the problem I have! There are just way to many varieties of chickens to choose from! I started off last year wanting to order 25 chicks. Some how I kept adding more chicks till I had about 140 on order. Luckily I came to my senses and cut the order down to a "manageable" 86 chicks. Then this year McMurray sent me their cataloque (so nice of them...) to tempt me. I decided I could get 25... and ended up with 53. So now I have 'about' 134 or so chickens... and yet... there are so many kinds I don't have (but I must exercise will power till next year.... and skip TSC when the chicks are there....)

Oh mercy. I believe that is my story.
Hello, I am Barbara, and I am a fuzzy butt addict. I began this downward spiral about 5 years ago, when I realized my family was eating 3 dozen eggs a week, and we had 33 acres to play with. I got a few babies. After a long and confusing journey, I finally found a place here that educated me and gave me solace. I now have 3 roosters, 15 hens, and am picking up 6 more today after work. I now house at least 4 breeds, possibly 5, not sure on that one yet. I REFUSE to take responsibility for my addiction, it is the fault on my husband (patient chicken husband he is) who eats too many eggs. Not to mention he keeps building coops. I am only addicted because my husband, my kids, my co-workers and BYC are enabeling me.

My best friend, every time we speak on the phone (and it's daily) - ends the conversation with, "And you don't need any chicks, Linda."
She tries to tell me it's a pain to sequester chicks in the bathroom, keep it hot for them, etc., but she doesn't REALLY know how freakin' CUTE they are, how adorable, and how it ISN'T any bother to shower and/or use a dusty bathroom with peeps in a Rubbermaid brooder in it. She tries to remind me how sad it was when 2 failed to thrive and died (yes, that's so very true), and how I'll have to sequester chicks from the 20 week old pullets and rooster, but she doesn't know that's why I'm planning on building a third coop, so I can use one of the smaller two as a nursery until they're big enough to join the rest of the flock... and..... and....
"You don't need any chicks, Linda." What does SHE know about it, huh???
...my favorite feed store got its first shipment of a zillion chicks just yesterday and I have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow......
