I would sell all of his tools and clothes...I am such a meanie...my husband gave me an ultimatum on my Dobermans ONCE...I asked him if he needed any help to pack...he did pack...he did leave...he is deceased and I am still here with my dogs...there are times in life when you just gotta do what is right for you and let the chips fall where they may...I sincerely hope you get to keep your feathered loves...

You said he's selling them because you guys can't afford to take care of them, but then you're asking for free/cheap birds? I'm confused . . .

Update, spent most of the day at the doctors and hospital yesterday. When I got home some of my chickens where gone. But he kept some also. This morning he was talking about how he missed the one he sold. I told him I WILL REPLACE THEM. My birds do free range during the day, and there treats are usually veggies and scraps and bread sometimes. I am so glad he didn't let them all go. Now3 he wants to get some silkies, polish, and rare ones. I told him I want frizzles to. He said ok. Just not a whole bunch, LOL. He realized if got rid of all of them he wouldn't have no fresh eggs. And would have to eat those nasty store bought ones. He's so crazy. But at least he is being more considerate about it. Thanks to all.

Wish you were closer. I need to thin my flock a bit and have 6 silkie chick that need a good and loving home. I would be happy to give them to you. Best wishes and good luck.

Next Saturday wake your husband up real early...tell him "the guy" is coming to pick up his _ _ _ _ (insert - boat, guns, ATV, etc.) as you have sold them....see how he feels then. So many people seem to forget there are 2 people in a relationship...

So sorry about your bird's.Im kinda but not like your situation going through same thing now.We are probably going into foreclosure and DH said I need to place the bird's.I have sold some last week and a few more today.I am not giving up though and I plopped a basket of hidden Special chicks in DH lap this eve.

. Yea and he has 3 more newbie's in hatcher in bedroom to probably keep him awake half the night bumpin and chirpin. I know I MIGHT have to find home's for all my lovie's but it's gonna be on MY term's.DH knows I know every bird and chick down to number's and I know when ONE is missing.I don't think it was right you hubby just sold them off like that.I hope you can get some back.They are a joy and a lot of people think they are just chicken's.But They are like any other pet and are considered animal therapy.If i didn't have mine I dunno. I go sit sometime's at daylight in my jammie's with coffee and a cig and just sit and watch them a long time. And they are like kid's I close each coop at night and most of time go in and rubb and pet them all and tell them goodnight. Yea I might be short a brick of a full load but at least I got almost a full truck.!

I cant believe he would do that to you. Chickens are not that expensive, downsize to a manageable amount if its really a problem. If SHTF and you're really out of money, having eggs and meat is worth more than the small amount of money the sales of the chickens will bring you now.

I'm sorry you are going through hard times right now.
