My friend has chickens, and recently they found out that one of their two silkies was a rooster. They offered to give me this rooster names "Stella" (named before they knew he was a rooster), and I am not 100% sure why (could be the other, Frances is a hen? But they offered her too so...) but they said if my mom says yes, that I could have him.
Well, I own 1 cockatiel, 2 mice, 7 fish, daphnia, 1 planaria, cyclops (aquatic creature), rhamshorn snails (again, aquatic), worm things from the fish tank, 1 hermit crab, and soon a helix aspersa (common garden snail). I have been trying to convince my mom for chickens since third grade, way before getting all my current pets other than the fish. I even made blue prints to a pen for my play room that is never used, a schedule for when it would be allowed outside (my yard isn't very good for a home outside.. not much space and too dark from trees) and everything else. I came up with ways to earn the money needed for the food, and everything else. i would build the pen myself out of wooden planks, and of course other materials used for coops. I would build a little hut for the corner and I would keep the temperature at a good temperature for him. I know exactly how to care for them.
I am also 100% sure the neighbors would be fine with another chicken on the street since my other neighbors own chickens, and they are 1 house down. So really, there isn't any thing else that is required other than my parent's permission. Anyone know how to convince someone to get a chicken? Stella isn't a hen, so... If he gets too loud I could buy a no crow collar, and I don't think he would be too too loud. He is the smaller type of chicken, and knowing my mom doesn't want a large type of pet, a silky is the perfect kind of chicken to have. I am the only one who really takes care of my pets, though my mom helps with the cleaning of the fish tank mouse cage and bird cage, I know for a chicken I can clean the pen by myself. I have experience with cleaning pens like the one it would have because of zoo camps. We would clean the elk, bison, and donkey stalls at one camp, and at the other the horse, big cats, bear/fox and holding stalls for the big cats. We almost cleaned the wolf habitat too but one of them (Theo) wasn't willing to go into the holding cage or that time...
Again, anyone know how I could convince them? I have made so may power points, and persuasive e-mails explaining why I should have one and why they would make a good pet, the anatomy, the diet, the care, I took 1 hour at least on all of them (about 10...) and they wouldn't sit through the title screen. They just get up and walk away before passing the title screen... No one will listen to this idea, I simply ask "Please can I have a chicken?" and then they walk away. They always say "No", but I don't want to give up. I even understand how much money and work one silky could be, but I don't care, I am willing to go through with everything.
UPDATE: They are apparently going to eat Stella (the rooster) unless they find someone to take him. Ideas???
