You know you're a real chicken owner when you've spent the afternoon scrubbing the water container because you left for a month and got a chicken-sitter to the point that the sponge turned brown/green and your fingers got wrinkled as a chickens legs,when the bottom of your pants are soaking wet while the chickens are dry as the food container that you work so hard to keep watertight. But if you are a real chicken owner you know it's worth it.
