Oh that is so wrong! What's his issue with them?

Oh no! Sounds like he's going alittle overboard. My DH does that sometimes too. Then he gets over it.

Does he take care of them? If not, then I don't understand why the big fuss. I had to get rid of most of my birds due to me being sick, but DH offered to take care of a few of them for me so that I didn't have to get rid of them, because he knows that I love them.

Let your DH know how much you enjoy them and how upset and hurt you would be if he forces you to get rid of them.

Mine tried the 'Me or the horse' line.
Admittedly there were other factors, too....
But the horse is still here.

And what have I learned from it? Don't let anyone walk all over you.

Joking apart, it's not a good situation to be in and I do really feel for you!!!!

What is the story behind this? Why? Is there a problem or is he just being grump. In the past my bf did this with some of our animals(no chicken yet). Try talking with him if he will be reasonable. Tell him how much he is hurting you by making you choise. My bf knows my animals are a huge part of my life and I let him know that I would have to rethink our relationship if he was going to be this way. I didn't what to loose him, it would kill me. But at the same time I couldn't just get rid of animals that I took in for life. That isn't right. We are still together, and we have all (plus some) of our animals.

Tell him to "suck it up," & get over it. In my marriage of 24 years, weve had only 2 good arguments over stupid stuff. I would never stop DW from doing what she loves, nor would she stop me.

You have a say also. Don't let him bully you! I'm sure you earn your keep and deserve to have what you want. I hate bullys.

Its calmer now we thought we lost 3 of the 7 but only one is lost (dead=Lady Cluck) one is missing (Pearl) and the other (Henny Penny) was under the house.

Had a young male red tail that let me stand over him, he never tried to leave, just stood over her with no fear at all - he had just killed her too- she was still warm.

I don't want to justify naughty DH behavior - but when I've lost or fretted over the chooks mine gets a little owly too. He hates it when I'm fussing or upset - and he secretly likes the chickens - I settle down when he gets like this and he dials back a smidgeon - we put the fun in dysfunctional I tell ya
