The Crazy Chicken Lady...

So, I've got an obsession. Who doesn't? The problem is that not many people share the same inthusiasm as I do, and as a result, I have been dubbed The Crazy Chicken Lady.

However, I do have a few supporters. One being my husband who, no matter what wacky scheme, project or obsession I engage in, is always there. The funny thing is, I usually get him just as interested as a result. Another supporter would of course be my mom. She doesn't always understand me, or have any interest in what I am currently up to, but she will always listen to my craziness. Then there is one of my closest friends, Want Less, who at times, feels like my mirror image. The one person who "gets me" and the one I get a lot of my crazy ideas from.

That being said, it is the rest of the world that I associate with whom have given me this name. Ok, ok... I will take some of the blame for the fact that I can not stop talking about my chickens. I am constantly talking about them to my classmates at school, my fellow reservist,  my wall on Facebook, coworkers and even my patients!  It is these people who make the comments like, crazy chicken lady and fowl mouth. They are just teasing, right?

While I know that not everyone is going to "get me," I take comfort in knowing that I do have some who will endure my never-ending stories, fun facts and pictures, and a few who are even excited to hear about them. I also have a place to go that is filled with people like me. People who might obsess just a wee bit more than I do, and there really isn't a day that goes by that I haven't stopped by to say hello on BackYardChickens.com. They even have excellent advice and tons of information. So, I really don't mind. It is kind of endearing to be known as  The Crazy Chicken Lady.
