Obsessive Chicken Disorder (OCD) help and support thread 😂😅🐔

[PippinTheChicken]

I am too obsessed. My little dinosaurs have stolen my heart, and, most probably, eaten it, thinking it was a tomato!
Here is a thread for people who have realised their addiction. Talk about your obsession, get advice & support and have some fun!

3 step program:

1. How many chickens did you start with? How high did you set your maximum chicken amount?
2. Count your chickens
3. Accept that chicken addictions are uncurable, and buy some "acception merch"

Acception merch:
OCD cup/mug
OCD mouse pad
OCD t-shirt
OCD t-shirt/jumper
OCD coop sign

How many of these do you have?

I didn’t know about this, but now that I do... Uh oh... I think I’ve had it for the past 7 years!

Unfortunately Fortunately, don’t think there is a cure!

Hello! Pippin here!
I started with 2 adault hens, a year ago. I aimed for around 5 chickens.
A few months ago, I had 10 chickens, but these past 2 months, 1 chicken died, and I had to rehome 2 boys. Another roo is leaving this weekend. I will be down to 6 I am dying for more!!!
I am going to hatch more eggs later this year (or next year) as well.

I have over 800 photos of my flock.
And I am all of these:

I started with 4 hens when I was pretty young. Last year I got up to 70.
I have about 15 now.

An extreme disorder

I have all the symptoms on your chart except one. The one I don't have is checking the bottom of my shoes - and that is because I have cute little coop clogs (with a chickens design on them naturally!) so I just slip those off an put on my house shoes when I go in.
I think that one thing spares me from the diagnosis. Right?

Would you like to tell the group about your new obsession for silkies?
