You know your a chicken lover when....

[3KillerBs]

You find that you have an egg in your jacket pocket when you get to work.

I never made it all the way to work with an egg in my pocket, but I have taken a jacket off the coat hook and found an egg in the pocket.

YKYACL,

When you read hatchery catalogs in bed before you go to sleep.

When you go out to open the coop at dawn on your day off.

When you have more pictures of your chickens on your phone than of your children. (To be fair, my teen and young adult boys are a big camera shy).

When you get breakfast started for your chickens first

I do that, too! Before anyone else's breakfast, even before my coffee!

 

[WhoDatChick]

You shovel the snow so that they can wander out of their coop, then you have to stand guard for them in the frigid cold....

Greatest pic ever!!!

You are in a day long work meeting and a storm unexpectedly rolls through. You have a neighbor stop by to make sure the flock is all in the coop and the new quarantined rooster isn’t sopping wet.

I feed and water all of my animals before coffee or food for myself. They've probably been awake longer (hahaha).

 

[Auntiejessi3]

You're sitting outside with your husband relentlessly watching your chickens and all you're talking about is your chickens...(he tells me that I do this all the time)

 

[HKG]

In summer I go outside as soon as I wake up, still in my PJ's, and collect the eggs and spend an hour with my birds just because I like watching them! and when you're talking to someone about chickens and they start talikng about something else but you just say, ya and keep talking about chickens!

When you know about things like chicken saddle aprons and chicken diapers and don't think they're weird.

Fair enough!

When you put your birds to bed, and be there before your roosters even start to crow in the morning!
