I rent. When I moved here the landlord knew I wanted to raise ducks and chickens, she said I could even use the coop that was here if I fixed it. It was hoarded to the ceiling with trash and took me six months of work to clean. She knew I planned to stay here about 5 years while I save for a down payment on my own farm someday. December rent pay went normal she asked how my animals were as usual and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. January rent time she said she sold the house to her son but rent wouldn’t go up and no need to move but I would be paying him the rent starting February. Come February he said he’s planning to move in April and hopefully I can find somewhere else to live by then. I looked there’s no places for rent in the country and the few towns I know allow them rent is like 1000 a month or more! (Currently paying 320 a month)
I’m screwed, so screwed! I have so many chickens and no idea what to do with them. Even going to the Saturday auctions would mean catching and transporting and the only cage i have I might be able to cram 6to8 of them at a time but most of them fly when I try to catch them. Some of them fly well enough I see them on the damn roof of the house regularly and in the tops of the trees. I know I will probably receive some harsh criticism along with hopefully helpful advice and am prepared for that.
