You might be a crazy old coot with chickens when:
1.Your co-workers who always made fun of your garden and chickens are now asking how to do it in these economic times.
2. You discuss the details of butchering a chicken by the lobotomy method in front of a crowd in shock and awe, but can't turn away.
3. You finally find other Curmudgeons to talk with on a chicken forum.
4. Friends and Neighbors call you for your "special" eggs.
5. You hope the P.E.T.A. people don't find out what you do with trapped chicken predators.
