OK, my DH is going to kill me b/c I can't get off BYC!!!!!!!!!

How funny! My husband walks in the door and if I'm on the computer...its "Chickens again?" Of course!!!! I tell everyone about my chicken chat!

Except at work. I never talk about chicken chat at work. And I try not to laugh out loud. I'm afraid if they knew I checked in here between projects, they'd think I needed more to do!

Must stop reading forum... must not think of chickens... turn away from the monitor....

It's like I am hypnotized or something. I always knew I liked chickens more than most but before finding BYC, I never knew there were so many others who did too. And that folks .. is how I became addicted.

I love this site!

Yes I'm a BYC-aholic. DH thinks I'm mental, he actually said, "we have enough chickens." How dare he? I got 9 new babies this morning, and hey, I promptly rehomed the packing peanuts, all 8 of them. My little boy's roo died this morning. So that only brings me to 23 total. Enough chickens? I think not!

And this man, who has a decrepit 14 year old cat that uses the entire sunroom for a toilet and looks like a mange victim, has the audacity to tell me that I have enough chickens....and that my sweet babies are not just the cutest little things he's ever seen?

Maybe I have PMS, but at least my pets are useful and cute.

P.S. I was driving on the other side of town yesterday running his errand and I saw a house, in a crowded residential neighborhood, with about 10 chickens. I was so excited, yelling, "you'll never guess what I saw on the way to the trash company?!?" The man thought I was a looney. Yet all I could think of for the rest of the day was that I wished those people would be on BYC and I could get to know them!

There ARE chicken diapers??? I've heard of duck diapers...but duck poop is stinky stinky (I hate editing b/c anyone w/ducks KNOWS poop just ISN'T a good enuff word)

But, I could totally see myself with a pet roo or something if it couldn't poop in the house.
Kristi.... yes, every night before I rest I must update myself on everyone's dilemma's & learn how to be a better chicken/duck mamma

Can you imagine the uprising I'd have on my hands! I'd have people with pitchforks and torches at my door within minutes!

Seriously though... this was a fun read. The fact that it is 5 pages already shows that there are definitely a ton of people out there that are as sick as I am.

BTW, you all know this is part of my world domination plan right? The world gets addicted to BYC and then I start selling the cure for millions!!! <insert evil genius laugh here>

As I posted in another thread:

I work at a very high tech company where we have a lot of really smart employees that wine and dine with clients who are really big online companies (MSN, Fox News, etc.).

I get asked how I know so much about website publishing, online advertising, etc. and I say I own and opperate a plethora of sites. The next question is usually, "Cool, like what?"

My answer: "Well, one of the biggest is www.BackYardChickens.com."

With a stunned look on their face they smile and almost mockingly say, "Um... chickens!?!?"

I then tell them the site gets about 2 million pageviews a month, has a forum of 4,700+ members with 15 new members a day.

That's about when their jaws drop.​

Nice to see that you won that one hands down!!

So funny! I keep trying to "sell" BYC to all of my homeschool friends. Even the ones that raise chickens think I'm crazy! I am however, slowly but surely, luring them to the chicken side. I think I talked at least three girls into siging on. I am so excited. If my homeschool friends start posting on BYC than I will definately have to buy "the cure" from you Nifty. I woul dNEVER do anything, i would gain 50 pounds, and I would smell like...well apparently like duck poo
