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

You scrimp and save on everything in your house, but spend $1,000+ building the nicest coop you can for your chickens.
Did that. $3000 for their coop.
Big enough to get more chickens. Chicken Math.
You can't remember the last time you 100% enjoyed a vacation because you're worried if the person you got to watch over your birds is doing a good job or not.

You know your a backyard chicken owner when... You come out of the chicken coop with some mysterious stains on your clothes.

When you get new chicks and don’t sleep that night because you’re worried about them

When you ask the chickens to stop making holes until after you leave because you just covered them all up....

When your Cardiologist tells you to slow down and you still go out and play with all your chickens and clean their coop and nest and feeders and waterers. Lol

You now spend more time in BYC than Facebook!

My next door neighbor is my best friend and just as chicken crazy as I am. I think the guys humored us in the beginning but they both adore the chickens as much as we do, now. Gramps was sitting on the couch yesterday with 9 Volt on his lap, both contentedly watching t.v. It was so cute!

Here's one from this morning: You know you're a backyard chicken owner when you hear from the kitchen, "Honey, I borrowed some of the chickens' bologna to make a sandwich for work."
