Where are you getting your sebright pullets? I would love to get some!

I have a lady that has connections. All the birds I’ve gotten from her have been healthy and parasite free.

When you'r making repairs on the coop and start singing at the top of your lungs a song your mama would sing...
I love my rooster, my rooster loves me.
I cherish my rooster under the green bay tree.
My little rooster sings Cock-a-doodle-doooo-
Dooly-doo-de-ly-doo-de-ly-doo-de-ly- dooo!
(True story....this morning. Thank God no one was home.)

Love it! I thought of this song the other day!

This is hysterical. Found this thread in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.

Family Christmas get-together @ gramma's 10 degrees out. The 6 teenage grandkids want go visit the chickens including their boyfriend and girlfriends. So we all trapse out to the chicken coop and pass chickens around to be held, cuddled and talked to. We bring Jenny the cuddliest into the house for the little kids to meet and one of my daughters is in hysterics laughing about being the crazy redneck gramma in the city another is saying "I don't know why you have chickens, I hate chickens". It's like: Heather, you would like them if you got to know them.

When you stop weeding the flowerbeds to let the Chickweed grow to feed to the chicks and Ducklings.

When you collect and cut up clover and crab grass for your chickens.

When you go dumpster diving at Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes etc. for the dead plants that they throw out so the girls will have something to scratch in and the added bonus of free dirt and maybe a live plant or two

You know you're a BYC owner when your chickens know the sound of your vehicle and come running!

You know you are as backyard chicken owner when....
Just as the sun is coming up your spouse notifies you the hens are raising heck. You run out in your jammies and slippers cause the neighbors are still asleep.
YOUR hens are found to be sound asleep but the neighbors hens are NOT.
So much for a quiet morning. Having accidentally woken your hens the demands for breakfast start!

When you reach into your pocket at the grocery store and find an egg, then wonder if they will think you stole it...

That has happened to me once or twice. Once it cracked.
