Not having seen chickens at any of the cemeteries in my area leads me to believe that death must be the only cure for chickenitis. A year and a half ago I thought it would be nice to get 3 or 4 laying hens. I now have 12 different breeds, 2 coops (one is undergoing an addition project), 1 tractor, 7 cages, 2 incubators, & 2 brooders. Come to think of it, with my current egg production I have 3 or 4 laying hens.
Some days I think I don't have a problem and everything is under control. I am happy with the number of chickens I have....Then I come back here to BYC and I am drawn to any post with pics....Its like being on a diet and working in a doughnut shop. If you don't allow yourself permission to give in to temptation a little here and there you will find yourself sneaking out with a few dozen all at once. So you may as well give in and enjoy it.
the addiction is uncurable!!! my hubby says it is unhealthy as well considering i wake up and log into BYC even before the coffee pot is done dripping (around 7-8am) and only log off if i need to make a phone call. if i could talk while app was running i wouldn't log off then...lol. and i am still on BYC most nights until sometimes 2-3am. tell me thats not an addiction...lol i just can't help it tho. i love chickens and reading and on here there is never ending threads and posts...lol
