You might be a crazy chicken lady/gent if...Go on, post yours!

when your dh says 'is that the last batch of hatching eggs this year?" and you say yes, but didn't tell him you have day old chicks on order from a hatchery! heheh!

I might be, cause I promised to keep only 12 in the coop this year & gave him one (that he doesn't even want & is not even involved with the chickens) which make the count 13. I keep saying "I do only have 12, that other one is yours."

When your hubby asks you "why did the chicken cross the road" you quickly run outside to chase him back out of the neighbors yard instead of laughing and saying "to get to the other side"

If you convinced your husband to be okay with you getting chickens since you'd only have 2-3 colored egg layers and that's it. Then when it came time to get them you bought 10 because you might get boys. So your husband reluctantly agreed on 10 but no more. Then a deal came along and you got 5 more that are mutts and lay plain white eggs, but they are cute and were free minus the time and gas for the 2.5 hour drive. You sneak them in and manage to raise them in the room next to your bedroom without him hearing peeps, but when you move them outside he sees them. He says 15, NO MORE. So months later you have 7 girls and 8 boys and decide to eat some of the surplus roos. It tastes so good you have to raise meaties next year. Now you have 4X the size coop you started with and are scrounging the scrap piles to find something you can use to make into something for chickens, you just don't know what yet. You convince him that 15 isn't many and he says, "Fine, 16." so you are trying to figure out how to get in more without him knowing and in the mean time you manage to convince him that you will be raising meaties, turkeys, geese, ducks, and more chickens next spring! Ask me if this is my story...Yes it is

If you manage to meet your ' chicken soul sister' on Craig's List, because you bought a chicken from her. It's amazing. From the moment we met, I knew she and I were going to be friends, and it's all because of the chickens!

You might be a CCL if you are sick in bed on a beautiful sunny day. The chickens and turkeys are safely running around the yard because the dogs are asleep with you. SUDDENLY you hear a loud WooHOO!!!! You and the dogs jump out of bed (you almost forget your clothes...busy road, broad daylight...scary) run down stairs to see what is getting your chickens! Everything is calm. Its such a beautiful day.... Whew.

It was only your declawed house cat that had treed one of the barn cats right outside your window.

...if your favorite hen gets jealous of you and pecks you when you aren't paying attention to HER and HER ONLY!

You might be a crazy chicken lady if you have to babygate the grandchildrens playroom because you have chicks brooding in there in a big baby pool blocking access to all the toys...

You might be a crazy chicken lady if you have a BYC page but have never been on Facebook. If all your family, friends and co-workers ask you how your chickens are doing...and I just happen to have cell phone pictures of them to share.

I love it! I also love your quote from your Great Grandfather!
