stoice Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 ...when people STOP asking how the chooks are - because you actually tell them... then their eyes glaze over ...when you become an 'expert' on poo! ...when you spend more money on cabbages, sweetcorn, greens etc than the rest of your food bill... and you only popped in for a pint of milk! ...when farms and other peoples gardens suddenly are much more interesting with chickens in them ...when you dream of chickens ...when you look at spare branches, bits of wood -even furniture!- as something for the girls to play with ...when you 'accidently' (deliberately) cook extra pasta ...when you have NO lawn!
