I have too many chicks hens and roosters in Henderson texas

[Katie386]

I have severe social anxiety, I get anxiety just posting on this site, and I love animals to death. I cope with life through my animals and sometimes I get a little overboard. I collect stray kittens from around the neighborhood but thats a whole other problem I can’t control yet. But I got chickens one day and fell in love. But I couldn’t stop getting more chicks. When I finally had too many and told my self to stop, I stupidly Didn’t listen and thought it would be profitable to sell some chicks. im now stuck with those chicks because I failed to get anyone to want them. So now I have way too many. My anxiety and stress are all jacked up because I don’t have space for all of them and it costs a lot to feed them. So I was Really hoping that anyone near me would like some chicks chickens or roosters because I have plenty.i wanted to sell them but I’m again having no luck. I want them to go to a good home and hope To continue to be able to free roam..but beggars can’t be choosers. I have 30 and I need to reduce it to ten. it breaks my heart.

Oh! It looks like you have some beautiful Easter eggers! I wish I could help you out, but unfortunately my coop is full! Good luck and I hope you have peace parting with your beautiful flock.

I took the liberty of putting a quick post over in the "Where Am I? Where Are You?" Texas forum about your hens. Hopefully someone will be in touch with you. If you are on Facebook (I'm not) , there's a DFW Chickens FB site you could contact. Might be more satisfactory than listing on CL. Best of luck! Nice looking chickens! Hang in there!

Okay so I have found someone who wants them all plus ten chicks but now I’m even more anxious and can’t stop wondering what they are going to do with my birds. Are they gonna lock them up? I have a lot of roosters are they going to make sure they don’t get to aggressive with each other? now I’m not sure I wanna give away some of them. I love Charlie the bantam rooster and I don’t want him to be neglected but he is aggressive with my larger hens?? My heart is my stomach my eyes are tearing up and I don’t want to do. Am I over thinking it? Are most people caring towards chickens? Or are the birds just meat and eggs.

Hi Katie, I know how extremely hard it is to have to hand pets over to other people. I would suggest asking them to send pictures of their coop set up, or simply ask them how they care for their birds and what they intend to keep them for. Ask them about their experience keeping chickens and I’m sure you will get positive answers. I am also a huge animal lover and I know that if I was getting these chickens I would appreciate your concern for their well-being. I’m rooting for you!

they were really nice and could see that I loved my birds dearly. i did go back on forth about giving certain birds to them. They told me if I changed my mind and wanted them back that I can come get them or even just visit to see how things are going. Right now I am pretty unsure about my decision. I can’t believe I gave away Charlie, and Susie and Charlotte and Rory. i Think I should have kept them four birds wouldn’t have been too many more to keep. But I didn’t want a rooster anymore and Charlie was the rooster. And Susie was his mate so she had to go with him. But then I kept raven and now she has no one but her one chick that will tower over her one day. And Charlotte and Rory were food hogs and would scare raven and remi and some of my other chickens away from the food so I couldn’t keep them either. I’m so torn right now. my brain says it was good but my heart says it was bad.

You did the right thing and what you needed to do. I'm so glad they will let you visit them. Have a wonderful time with your remaining flock! ❤
