So I was so happy when mom asked me to build her a coop and get some chickens. My husband and I made the coop from scratch (which took forever cause I only have hand saws) and got all of the supplies needed to raise the chicks. (which along with the coop cost me a pretty penny and we don't have jobs right now because we just moved here from TX)
Everyone liked the idea until the chicks got here. My Dad was angry when I set them up in the spare room, and wants them outside NOW. He says the entire house smells like $#!+( Which it doesn't, I clean their bedding 2-3 times a week) and he thought we were getting adult chickens. Besides that he said he only wanted 3, (with TSC you have to buy six and there is no where else around here that I know of to get chicks). My mom and I are upset because we are already attached to the babies but he says they have to go outside. I live in East Stroudsburg, PA and if they go outside they will freeze and I don't have the money to get a heater for the coop.
Would anyone want to trade me 3 adult hens for the 6 chicks, or as a last resort just take the chicks off of my hands so my dad doesn't put them outside? Supposedly they are 3 "red pullets" and 3 brown "leghorn pullets". Thanks
(I can get better pics on request)
