i feel like i am just being dumb to some degree but at the same time i think im right.
so, my father in law wants to get chickens but his wife wont let him. which i dont understand cuz she doesnt do anything outside anyway so i dont see how they would bother her (or anyone for that matter, haha theyre so cute but its whatever, like theyre choice i dont have to understand her reasoning.
BUT he then just assumed id be ok if he just got some and stuck them in our coop. we have a small flock which is perfect for our situation right now, we dont have a finished yard or fence and our coop can only hold four chickens. he says he will HELP, so not pay in full, for the food. but i would be doing all of the cleaning and feeding and care which yes is fairly easy but can still get tiresome... especially because i have kids and i am pregnant. theyre not really old enough to be much help haha. so its basically 100% my responsibility and he wants half the eggs.... ???? am i being stupid... hormonal maybe? i dont know. someone back me up. or help me be ok with it. i dont want to be rude and tell him no and state it like that cuz i dont want to be rude then change my mind later. oh and we would have to build a bigger run... which i already know he is not willing to help with.
