When you are standing in 20 degree weather or below so your chickens can free range and the Hawks won't get them.

12 chickens they have a 210 sq foot covered run

When you have these type of conversations with your friend. Still staying strong since July 9th of this year

You know you're a backyard chicken owner when you hear your chickens squawk and immediately run outside to protect your babies.
Or when you hear your not so quiet neighbors laughing at you for running around your yard waving a stick and shouting at the hawks overhead.

When you are forced to buy store bought eggs, cause yours aren't laying enough, only to find your daughter forgot the 3 (previously mentioned) eggs in her pocket. But you get mad because they take the store bought eggs out of the carton and mix them with your pullet's eggs. Right now I have a dozen, but I think about 4 of them are store eggs. I don't know, because my BJG lays the exact same color and shape and I can't tell which are hers and which are the store eggs.
