You know you're addicted to chickens when...

[chickenannie]

When you do more for your chickens than you ever did for any other animal.

When you are sad that your fuzzy butts grow up too soon.

Yup - been there, done that!

How about...you are out to dinner with hubby and you call the kids at home to check on the chickens!!

When you allow noone else near your chickens becasue they have to be taken care of the right way and because you have to sit and visit no matter what the weather with your RIR pullet because she misses you so much. You do this because you know that no one else in your family will do these little things for them and the chickens expect it to be done no matter what.
You are at your in laws having dinner and you say its time to go because the coop door needs to be shut.

You know you're addicted to barnyard birds when..

You see eggs rocking and call your SO at 7am, squealing, "WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!", causing him to power-wash his sinuses with coffee and choke until you start babbling about hatches and 'bators.

You see a desktop fridge and go "OOOH, that'd probably make a neat bator!"

Your friends stage an intervention.

Your SO forbids you to buy eggs at the store, because you read on BYC that some people have hatched them and he's seen that gleam in your eye a lot lately.

You go to the store at 2am with feathers in your hair, poo on your shoes, and a day old chick in your gym bra. And you don't get why people are looking at you funny.

You list "Chicken" on the Languages section of resumes.

A quail using your face as a landing pad becomes your normal morning wake-up call.

In the midst of bow chicka bow wow, your SO makes a noise that's just like one of your birds.. and you giggle and tell him.. and he doesn't kick you out of bed... because that's at least the second time you've mentioned it.

Your out of work due to injurys and per doctors orders you are supposed to be taking online cources to further education so you can work if injurys heal. You return to doctor and he asks "what are you studying" and you reply chickens.

You know you're addicted to chickens when... you hear your wife tell others that all he ever talks about is chickens.
