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

[SonoranChick]

When you've researched how to get a chicken certified as a companion animal.

I'm actually very interested in this! I've been researching therapy chickens!!

When you are going to spend hundreds of dollars to build your chickens a new run and coop.
When you’re willing to shell out over $200 for hardware clothe, but you won’t treat yourself to the new Beats headphones for your birthday.

That's called priorities

Or realize you didn't put them on to start with and are still in your houses slippers...

Or you walk out onto the porch, slide your coop shoes on and realize about the time you feel something squishy between your toes that the chickens pooed in your shoes.

You know you’re a (crazy) BackYard chicken owner when... you cluck to your chicken and she actually responds and you have a whole conversation with her. For multiple days in a row mind you.

I don’t think your crazy! My girls and I have conversations all the time. Two of mine will even preen my hair .... or maybe I’m just crazy too ....

Or when you apologize to your hens for disturbing them as they dust bathe in the very center of your newly planted flower bed

I don’t apologize to them. They usually go and scratch up everything I just planted

Sometimes I wonder if my neighbor can hear me? I talk to my girls too.

I have the worst singing voice on the planet, and my chickens don't mind it at all.
