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

When you buy harnesses and leashes for your future house cockerels.

I have a harness and leash but have never really used it as I am terrified one of the many, MANY free-roaming house dogs around our street will tear one of my chickens apart. We had a close-call scare once and after that I figured they were happy enough with their run

When your dog sits in front of you giving you the worshipful puppy dog face, then she lifts her paw to shake, lays down, and speaks... all the whole time, you continue cutting up old pepperoni pizza, old salad... and have to explain to her that these treats are for the girls, and pup can't have any!

When you announce the temp inside the coop, and hubby (who is so not a chicken person) keeps suggesting that you put up a heat lamp.

When you look throw the fresh tomatoes looking for any with even a small blemish to claim for your chickens. My mom absolutely hates when I do this, what can I say my chickens gotta eat

When you sacrifice your hair by running out to the coop in the 10 degree weather because you forgot to collect the eggs and your hair is wet... it’s still de thawing

There used to be a bunch of roaming dogs around but now that they're leashed or locked up I take my girl on walks. I have to hold her or she rides on my shoulder a lot of the time because she isn't a dog so she won't walk loose leash with a person. Lol.

Be careful going thru them, one could accidently fall on the floor and become chicken food, because it split.

City Slicker joke
So this man from the city goes to a chicken hatchery and he buys 500 leghorn chicks. A couple weeks later he comes back and buys 500 americauna chicks. 3 weeks later he goes back to the hatchery and buys 500 RIRs the hatchery owner says to him you must be starting a big chicken farm. The city slicker says yah but I can't get any of them to grow I don't know if I'm planting them to close or to far.

When you stop mowing the lawn just to catch bugs for your chickens.
I have a book with a bunch of chicken jokes.
