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

[igorsMistress]

When you put down chicken wire under the mulch around your plants to keep the chickens from digging them up

When you feel the need to explain your impending bathroom trip so your teeny couch roo won't assume you got lost back there and crow the entire time for your safe return.
