My boyfriend might be a CCG. Last night he expressed his concern that his "mama" (the oldest hen) wasn't sitting on his lap lately. Then he said he thinks it's because I said the words "Barbecue some chicken" while she was sitting on his lap the last time!

Yes, I'm sure that's why, dear.

(Still - he has a point - she did look at me funny....)

If you built a loft above your coup with straw and a pillow so you could watch the goings on from above....

OK, one more.

My partner is a CCL too. When she retired last year, her coworkers asked what she would like for a retirement gift. She wanted a food processor to chop up the fruit and veggies for our chickens.

A year later, it truly has only been used for chicken treats. (works great!)

Oh, wait... some people don't bother to chop their chicken treats up into little, uniform, easy to eat pieces and arrange them in a beautiful, artistic way onto a handmade stoneware plate...?

When you wake up at 2 am to check on the progress of a chick you have hatching and wake up your DH because the hatcher is in your bedroom closet where you can make sure to hear them chipping when they get out

When all 3 of your roosters crow when they see you in the back yard and you have to speak to each of them by name so nobody will get their feelings hurt.

Yes, I do that.

I also do MANY of the previously mentioned things. MANY!!

ok - I went vegetarian the day I brought my little babies home last year. They're little faces looking up at me did it. Over a year and no hankering for anything meat. Husband (who does eat meat) doesn't eat chicken any more

Um - I make sure they're bite size pieces...no platter but sometimes mini pie plates.​

Might be a crazy chicken lady if...

... I've taken my Serama roo to the post office so much that when I leave him home people I don't know and have never seen before ask me if my rooster's okay.

...there are always feathers in the clean laundry because I forget to take the ones I collect from the coop out of my pockets.

...my Serama has been on so many trips with me that he recognizes the sound of my car and will start crowing when he hears me pull in.

...I've hunched over nest boxes shredding straw with my hands because long pieces just seem too prickly for the girls.

...I have the largest egg my girls ever laid in the back of the fridge, nestled in a Tupperware/paper towel nest with a Post It Note saying "DO NOT USE!" on it. (Been there seven months.)
