Oh this is too fun!
When you still have a functioning out house.
When the house you parent was raised in on the other side of your property is now your storage unit.
When the dog is best friends with your chickens.
When the neighbor calls to let you know one of your critters has wondered over to their place and they call it by its name.
When you crawl back in bed still wearing the jammies with a few smudges from running out to check on the hens. Which you only ran out to check because the dog barked.
When the kids are sharing the tree house you built them with a few hens.
Or my favorite one day the sensus lady came by asking about who lives on the property and in what buildings while I am building my new chicken coop and she politely asked is this a new residence. I replied yes for the chickens.
