Ok, so I had a dream that I was at my new house, and that a serial killer and an FBI agent (two characters from the show Dexter) were in my yard and they were argueing. The killer had captured the agent, but then for some reason began spreading red and green leaf lettuce across the ground. The agent, confused, asked why he was putting out lettuce and Dexter (who isn't such a bad guy as killers go) says "for the chickens" And so here come my chickens, happily eating lettuce. The conversation moves on, and the agent yells something, and Rufus, my barred rock hen, parrots it. And then she parrots the next thing that is said.
And then i forget all about the FBI and Serial killers and spend the rest of my dream testing the hen to see what else she can say. I ask if she can say her name and she does. I am so impressed! I begin to wonder if anyone else has talking chickens and decide to post the question on BYC.
Then I wake up and am sad because not only can Rufus not talk, but I am still in a little apartment and my chickens are at a foster home because we don't have our new house yet. I want the house and I miss my chickens!

Oh no. Like I didn't need to read that. I've already expanded the run in my own higgly-piggly fashion and put the New Coop close to my bedroom window, but expanding it to connect with the sides of the house? Jeez, my dogs need SOMEWHERE to do their business! I'd enclose the kitchen door if I thought I could open it without the dogs getting out directly into the run. If it weren't for the dogs, I could let my girls free range in the entire back yard, which is pretty large.

I have to count the chickens every night when I get home after dark, so I lift the coop lid to do so, causing the chickens to chumble and shift about until I close it again, satisfied all are safe. Then I'll close the pop door, apologizing for having let any warm air out. But I hadda check, since I didn't get to see 'em out during the day whilst I was at work. Darn these short days!

You spend 45 minutes looking for a white chicken at nite in a snow storm and find it roosting on your neighbors white fence, and has the look "where have you been"

If everyone in town knows you because of your chickens...

And.. if you stand in the chicken coop for hours just staring at your chickens

If you devote a whole weekend to integrate broody hens back into the flock...

If you spend another hour blogging about it.... http://luannesgarden.blogspot.com/

"You might be a crazy chicken lady..."

If you spend New Year's Eve on BYC, reading about everyone's chickens.
