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

GASP! They make baby monitors with cameras now?! (yea, Im old lol)
I'm looking them up...I LOVE that idea!!

Mine didn't have a camera, just sound. I'd be running out to the barn in the middle of the night cos someone made a "funny" noise..

when you get looks and stares from people driving by your house in town because you are sitting outside with your chickens all on your lap

When you sing to your chickens!

When you have to scroll through SO many chicken pictures on your phone to find pics of the grandkids lol (true story)

guilty, more pics of my critters than grands!

When the thought of eating a store bought egg makes you sick.

My 4 yr old grandson asks his other nanny if the eggs are mine. She says no, he refuses to eat!

when you stop by to visit your neighbor and they say "oh! Im so glad youre here, come in and see these funny chicken pictures I saw..." lol

...when you have insomnia, you get on BYC! lol

Guilty again!

When you ditch your company Christmas party because you are getting a new bird

Are you feeling better this morning?

When you have your own mini easter egg hunt looking for the eggs your chickens have refused to lay in the coop.

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.

That's scary true...

When you make an unintentional fashion statement in public with feathers in your hair.

...or hay, or shavings, or fecal matter...

fecal matter

Or your chicken shoes to the drs and they ask you to take them off.

when you go to lick the chocolate off your fingers, and it isn't ----------------

I could have gone the rest of the week without thinking about that.

When you call in late for work because you are nursing a sick chicken.... or call off the whole day because its HATCH DAY!!!

When the thought of eating a store bought egg makes you sick.

...when you have insomnia, you get on BYC! lol

(You know you're a backyard chicken owner when...)
EVERY HOLIDAY, CARS ARE BLOWING THEIR HORNS AT YOUR GATE WANTING FRESH EGGS...
RIGHT IN FRONT OF A HUGE SIGN THAT SAYS...
"SORRY.. EGGS SOLD OUT"

I don't have any chickens. . yet. . but guilty of almost all of the above with my ducks
How about seriously considering buying a baby monitor with a camera cause I just need to know what's going on in the duck house at night

That is genius!! I totally want to do that!!

When your best friends great you in the morning for breakfast!
Crappy phone...lol. sorry it's a bit blurry..
