Well said!

Well here ya' go! This really helped me!

TWELVE STEP RECOVERY PRINCIPLES FOR
CHICKENADDICTION

STEP 1: We admitted we were powerless over our chicken addictions and our
compulsion to
have more of them. As a result our schedules have become
unmanageable.
STEP 2: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore
us to sanity,
and his name is NOT Dear Husband or Dear Wife.
STEP 3: We made a decision to turn our life with poultry and will to have
more of them over to
the care of God.
STEP 4: We made a searching inventory of precisely how many chickens we have
at present
and how many square feet of coops and runs we currently own.
(roll eyes here)
STEP 5: We admitted to God, ourselves, spouse and BYC’rs the exact amount
of our
overcommitment.
STEP 6: We are entirely ready to cull all the unnecessary chickens from the
flock to make
room for upgrading our stock.
STEP 7: We humbly asked God to help us choose which ones to cull and which
ones to keep.
STEP 8: We made a list of all the good breeders and helpful friends that have
encouraged us
in our quest for breeding excellence.
STEP 9: We made a plan to reciprocate to each of these people for all the
good things they
have done to help us happily overindulge in our chickaddiction.
We also commit to
‘pay it forward’ to any new convert to chicken raising by being
generous and helpful
where ever possible.
STEP 10: We continued to take a personal inventory of how much money and time
we spend
with our feathered children, and vowed to give our spouses and
children equal time.
STEP 11: We prayed that God would keep our families and flocks safe from
predators
and disease, and for greater knowledge of His will for our
happiness.
STEP 12: Having had a truly delightful experience in keeping chickens, we
promise to carry
the message to others and work tirelessly to help others become
as hopelessly
addicted to chickens as we are.

Do you have a front shot of the comb head on? It is hard to tell at that age though.

OM that is funny. I used to lead a Celebrate Recovery 12 step for teenagers and you couldn't of written these any better for chicken lovers! Great Job.

Just so you know, I took this from another thread....

Beautiful little bird!

My blue girl is growing up! Here is a picture of her, then I have to ask some girl boy questions on a little white that is coming along. Will post that in a different post.."she".. is in some of these with the blue splash girl. And there is a showgirl in there I think..

my silly little white girl back there, her pin feathers are coming in. Quite the hairdo!
