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

[Birdsong 82]

When You spend your entire ride home wondering how your chicken reacts and what they’re thinking the first time they lay in egg. No seriously I did that yesterday on the way home from Work

You fuss at your hubby for putting stale loaf bread or cereal in trash ( pulling it back out) because the chickens will love it!
You now spend more time in BYC than Facebook!
All your friends and family tag you on FB with chicken memes
You never made homemade popcycles for your kids but make corncycles for the chickens on hot days
You fuss at family for discarded watermelon rinds, because they can be frozen for chicken treats on hot days!

When You’ve never even signed up for Facebook but backyard chickens every day

When you use chicken chores as a reason you can't go somewhere because you don't feel like going out.

When you're over the moon for getting that 1st tiny serama egg. You can't control your enthusiasm, take 100s of pics, and even post post pics online of your tiny useless egg.

(For the pic, I put the serama egg next to an orp egg for comparison.)

When you spend your lunch break checking updates on backyard chicken. And then calling your daughter during lunch break to see how many eggs we have gotten today. Then you realize oops I never actually ate lunch

...When...
You have to give your dearest fun loving visiting relative the .EVIL EYE when, as you are showing off your coop and best laying girls, they go...
"Mmmmmmmm..." and lick their lips!!!

when you cut open the watermelon and it turns out to be mushy, I think no problem, then chickens love watermelon!

When you carefully take your house slippers off at the back door and put your coop shoes on and go check for eggs, only to turn around and see your daughter run into the coop behind you - in the slippers you so conveniently left at the back door.

...your cat takes dust baths with the chickens and sleeps in the pen.

...when you set up a wildlife camera inside the chicken house because you want to know which of your chicks just started laying.
