you know your a backyard chicken owner when you find poop all over your deck.

. . . When you're ten year old cries cause she can't sleep in the coop with the chickens

. . . When the neighbors call the cops on each other, but half of the officers end up in your yard talking about your chickens

.....When you go around with a shovel scooping up poop piles on the driveway to put on the compost pile.
Or when you're on vacation and you miss your chickens more than the people

You have a door mat AND a boot brush to scrape of your shoes.

I worry about people who don't talk to their chickens. They do talk back .

They do! They all have personalities, are very intelligent and funny! I watched a young silkie cockerel to a little court dance around a cute Australorp hen, and she eyed him with total disdain and when he sidled closer, she pecked him scornfully! I love it. Or when the guinea and Ricky the rooster went chasing the silkie cockerel around the yard, and accidentally crashed into each other, and that started an angry fight whilst the silkie watched and shrugged.
