What Is Happening To Me?!

[Skip]

We started with four chickens, two hens, two roosters in a nice little coop, and fed commercial ration. I was happy with my new chickens.

Well, that was until I caught the fever. Chicken fever.

Now, I have fifty-five chickens, they free range and I'm feeding them off of my own plate. This is a sickness, and I never want to be cured!!!

Chickens forever!

I think you sound like most of us.

I started with 6 Barred Rock, 2 RIR, and a Sexlink for layers. The next year I added a few more and a flock of bantam pets. Over the past 4 years that has expanded to 108 chickens that range in size from 14 lbs to 17 ounces.

This is an uncurable illness. You will always want more.

I've always believed "Too much of a good thing.........is JUST RIGHT!"

I've never considered myself an addictive personality. I don't drink to excess, never done drugs, never smoked, eat a wee bit too much (HA). However, this passion for chickens is unbelievable!

At least if I was on drugs I could go to rehab. With chickens THERE IS NO CURE !

Do you think they have chickens at the Funny FARM?

I sure am a chicken lover forever. Each time I see a new photo of different breeds, I want some of each. OMG! I hope I can keep up with my wants.
