I have to part with my girls.

[RhodeIslandRed5]

I live near the Timpson Texas area. I have five Rhode Island Red pullets rescued from Tractor Supply on April 22. I'm having to part with them for many reasons. It's going to break my heart and I'm going to be depressed for days. I am going to be very, very choosy on this. There new owner(s) must promise me these things: 1. They must pet and hug my girls daily 2. They must provide treats 3. They must have good knowledge of chicken caring and at least have a nearby vet. 4. They must have a very, very safe area in which predators CANNOT reach them. 5 and most importantly. They MUST NOT END UP ON THE KITCHEN TABLE! 6. I cannot drive too far from where I live due to undependable vehicles.

My girls all have interesting personalities. My sweet girl Babybmakes the cutest grunting noises for a chicken. She is used to being held, carried and hugged. My heftiest girl, Big Girl has been limping for the past two days but it is not believed to be Bumblefoot, Merek's Disease or broken. She's not super friendly and doesn't care to cuddle, or be carried long. Crybaby will scream when caught, but will chirp to your voice when held and will cuddle. Pushy is used to being carried. Lazy Eye will sit in your lap and snuggle.

Like I said, parting with them is going to hurt me bad and I'm not going to want to see chickens after parting with them. So you must be a very serious chicken lover and abide by my promises above before taking my girls.

My heart is already broken by reading this!
You must really love your babies! Really no chance that you can keep'em?

It hurt me to write it. I do love them which is why they need to go to someone who is a whole lot smarter on chickens than me. Not to mention with more money to help on vet bills. I truly had no idea chickens can get so many problems, and vet expense is something I can't deal with.

I'm so sorry that you have to give up your girls. Maybe you should post on the Texas thread too. I'd love to take them but I already have so many.

Maybe @campingshaws could help you out.

I'm so sorry to hear you have to part with your girls. I know how hard it is. That's why I have so many failed fosters! It will work out for the best, it truly does.

I’m about three hours away, and I cannot make guarantees on #4. But I live at a summer camp, I’m experienced with chickens and those island reds, and they would get lots of pets and snuggles.
