Chicken and Mother-In-Law Vent!!

That is extremely manipulative and damaging behavior. No, they can not take away your kids. Even if they brought up a bogus claim like child abuse, you have other relatives and your children to dispute that. Start looking for a new place now. Find one, finance one, pack overnight and leave. Leave a letter saying you moved, or tell them in person if you want. Whether you share your address and phone number is up to you.

Might let her know that your DH tests all your food before you eat it...

Been there done this - and I am so sorry you are dealing with it. Your MIL cannot secure custody of those children for ANY reason unless she has documented physical evidence that you and your husband are neglecting/abusing them. I do agree with what others have said in regard to securing a place, packing and moving out without them knowing. What state do you live it? I do know that it is highly uncommmon for Grandparents to ask for and receive "grandparents right" unless they can prove without a shadow of a doubt that it would be detrimental to the children for them to NOT be in their lives. In regard to the dead chicks - Document it. Write it down. Write down every single incident you have with her as they happen.. How many children do you have? It sounds as though your husband is firmly attached to his manipulative, controlling, know it all mother's apron strings. Sounds as though she has a hold over him and that she's not going to relinquish it without threats and a battle. YOU do not have to put up with it. YOU know what is best for you and your children. If Hubby is confused about where he wants to be, fine. But you, the children and the chickens need to be somewhere else.

Well the woman agreed to replaced the dead chick, and I bought 2 others from her because she was so nice an did replace her.. I brought them home and I put them in the tote with bedding, food and water, I run upstairs to grab the heat lamp and I pass my father-in-law.. he looks at me an goes "its 73 degrees in here, your going to roast them"..

The replacement chick is a 1 day old... 1 DAY OLD!! (keep in mind I did what THEY said and didnt put the light on my other ONE DAY OLD chick the just DIED!) and the other two are week olds an the one is about a month old... but that one day old DEFFINATELY needs that heat and the one week old chick was cheeping like mad because she was apparently cold!! As soon as I plugged the light in, the 3 younger chicks ran (I mean really RAN!) to the light, bundled up an went to sleep.. the older chick (who I have in there just to keep them company while she's in quarinteen) was too busy eatting, thats when my MIL came up an looked in an said "that older chick is hiding from the light"...
SHE'S

EATTING YOU

TARD!
