You know you're a backyard chicken owner when...

[deepbluesea]

When you spend some part of most evenings glaring and the sky and muttering threats to the hawks.

When you wake up thinking about all of the things that you have to do that day at home, briefly contemplate taking a vacation day only to simultaneously realize that you'd just spend the time with the chickens anyway!

But but but...they love you!

 

[Chicken Boy 101]

When you can carry 6 eggs in 1 hand.

When somebody tells you that you've got chicken poop on your shoe and your response is....I don't doubt it.

When you save the shrimp shells, and snip them up with scissors before giving them to the birds.

When you give your hubby the daily egg tally, and he "at least" pretends to care.

When you have a separate egg carton in the fridge just for "family eggs". The other stacks of full cartons in the fridge are "for customers."

Or your hubby brought home a full size refrigerator just for eggs and it's full.... and the kids know to only get our eating eggs out of the kitchen frig, so "we have no eggs" doesn't mean there are none just none sorted for family consumption..... lol

 

[Boonie Stomper]

When you can tell the difference between a fairy egg and a bantam egg of the same color!

You know you're a backyard chicken owner when...
You have an infirmed patient pullet playing peck the inhabitants moving on your tablet screen with you, after her treatments and special feeding...

 

[Faraday40]

......When you have a piano-playing chicken

 

[igorsMistress]

When you tell the grandkids they can't have any ice because you need it for the chickens tomorrow.
