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

[Varrington]

Or realize you didn't put them on to start with and are still in your houses slippers...

Do this all the time

 

[Varrington]

When you’re at work and your ask your coworkers “Do you know what my chickens did this morning?”

I have 6 ex battery hens. I got them in august. Two could only be described as oven ready. No feathers apart from there head and end of wings. Combs were nearly white. Long claws and wonky beaks. There was a rehoming for 200 18 month old hens that were going for slaughter. I wanted to take every single one home with me. I could have cried. It was so sad seeing them cast off as 'past it'. Fortunately they all had homes to go to. Mine are doing really well. All feathered up, claws scratched down and beaks gone normal. They are still abit rough round the edges but they are so friendly. I still get 3-4 eggs from them but it was never about that with them. They served there purpose for cheap eggs. If they never layed again I would still be happy. We owe it to them.View attachment 1246336

Dinky. With feathers.
I know six hens isn't many but it was all I have with the space I've got. We owe it to them to give something back.

yep!

You also know.... When while watching a show with poultry in a scene, you pipe out their breeds and which of yours they look just like.

I love doing that!

Especially when it is -20 and you have to give them fresh water!

That's pretty much me but it stinks when there's no egg there.
