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

[Brahma Chicken5000]

...you risk getting in trouble at school by taking your salad home for your spoiled little babies
...you would rather have chicken friends over human friends
...you talk about your chickens every chance you get
...you consider your chickens to be your children
...you want to be homeschooled so you can spend every second of every day with them
...you think the sound of your rooster crowing is beautiful
...you want more chickens
...you realize this list is really long
...you realize that you just split your phone keyboard into two peices while typing this and now you don't know how to fix it.

Phew. I thought I was the only one who referred to my chickens as my children.

You know you're a backyard chicken owner when you can't stop taking pictures of your chickens because they are so beautiful.

I absolutely love them.

I don't understand what her obsession with kitchen chairs is. When I let them out she wanders around for a few minutes then she jumps up on a chair and just lays down for a while.

They are the BEST!!!!

When you tell your mother that the bowl of cooked spaghetti noodles she ate for lunch was the chickens. And..... that you've had your chickeny hands in it. hahahaha

When you reach into your pocket at the grocery store and find an egg, then wonder if they will think you stole it...

Lol
