On BYC you will find the whole spectrum of chicken owners... you are definately on the "I love my chickens and they are my pets" end... nothing wrong with that.
Good advice on not bathing TOO much and ONLY when they actually NEED it.
I'm somewhere in the middle... I only name the birds that stand out in some special way (personality, looks or have come back from some sort of tragedy)... but I totally enjoy having ALL of them.
Fresh food, fresh water, special treats once in a while, fresh air and sunshine and a reasonably clean (for chickens) environment is what they need... anything more is gravy... and we all love gravy.
Enjoy your birds!
