It's been about a year and a half since I got started on raising/showing my chooks. It seems like EVERY SINGLE DAY my father comes home and complains about my birds. I feed,water,clean,bath, dust an whatever else has to be done for them and he doesn't do anything besides eat the fruits of their labor (eggs). I love my birds to death and won't let anything happen to them. For instance... last Suday I came home from a poultry show and Cotton (showgirl roo) thought he was top bird until I brought Bubba home ( my blue bantam wyandotte roo) which I had taken him to be shown. Of course the two get into a little fight over who in dominate. Finally after cleaning them up from a little blood and separating them I come in and he's calling me a "blank" fighter..... This upsets me really bad and into tears everytime I walk into the livingroom.....Today another thing happened.. I came home from my friends (was dark then and already had all the birds put up) and he starts yelling at me saying I don't take care of my chickens and blah blah blah... I have two girls that live inside upstairs in the living room. I get them out to let them walk around and eat some treats and my father says " You don't take care of your chickens do you?" I say yes I do more than you so shut up (o course I was furious..... He says "I'll turn you in to the humain society for chicken abuse or you can just get rid of them".... I yell back and say "just shut up,I'm never going to get rid of my birds". Of course I'm in tears now crying all over the living room and he has to go and say " Wellif you don't get rid of them I will then".... So every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is check on my birds... It's not fair to me of living with this kind of fear of waking up and my beloved babies are gone... Almost everyday I'm in tears because of him...
Sorry for the long rant ,but as of right now I hate were I live and I wish that my father would just move out or something but yet again he's so lazy....So thats my whole day...
