When you get defensive about your Birds...Like someone told you your kids are ugly or uncared for?...

Yup I sure do. I also get super defensive when people start hating on cockerels/roosters for crowing.

When you look at the weather channel to see if you need to collect eggs early today or they will be ok until the evening.

You know when your a backyard chicken owner when you make frequent trips to produce stands just after hours to get leftover damaged corn, tomatoes and melons etc.

When you have feathers in your pocket, even in your purse.

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

You're 'sick and tired' of having to tell people that a hen does NOT need a rooster in order to lay an egg

You grimace when you have to buy eggs because your ladies have stopped laying for the winter.

(yes, I call them my ladies)
