Rosie, I only wish I lived closed enough to at least come help you move. Please be very careful and let us know when you get settled. You may be able to have chickens, though only a few, at your new place. We all wish you the best and you are in our prayers.
First thing you need to do is to move as soon as you can. No property is so nice that it justifies putting up with what has happened and what your landlord is apparently like. Note that in most states in the United States you really have little if any recourse. You are a tenant on his property...
