Too attached to my girl?

[Emojikitten]

Ive had Ivy since the beginning of time. I originally had four, but (in order) One turned out to be a rooster, so we had to give him away because its against the law to have one, one died for an unknown reason and one was decapitated by a hawk. All I had left was Ivy. And Ive gotten so attached to her. I spend most of my time outside taking her for walks or cuddling with her, and when I meet new people, thats the first thing I talk about after reciting our greetings. I even learned the "chicken language" which consists of screeching and clucking to make up commands and greetings. My friends and family at work and school make fun of me, and today while I was with her, I asked myself if I was to addicted to my baby girl? Well, am I being annoying about my baby girl or am I fine? And if I am annoying? How do I stop being annoying and still be with Ivy at the same time? How will Ivy react? Thanks for helping me out guys.

So you only have one chicken? You definitely need more. I get attached to my dogs and have had a few chickens that were fun to talk to. As long as it's not consuming your whole day, and you can still function without your chicken, than do what makes you happy is my mantra.

I agree with oldhenlikesdogs. As long as it’s not consuming an excessive amount of your time. Lots of people enjoy spending time with their pets. But if you don’t have any healthy relationships with other people that may be a concern.

Who cares if you're annoying? The biggest thing is enjoying your girl. I'm terribly annoying, don't care one bit lol! She does need some more chicken buddies though. And as for people making fun, let's just say jealousy is an ugly emotion.

If you only have one now, you need to get your hen a buddy!

Just come and be 'annoying' with us. We understand. The others never will, and that's their loss.

Coconut died during winter, and she left Ivy behind. Chickens arent really the best pet for winter, so I have to wait for spring.
