Birdies, it is obvious that you are quite young (no, do NOT mention your age; that will get the thread locked and removed). There have been mentions about concerns over grades which you did not answer, personal responsibilities (such as doing chores) that you have not responded to, and comments about it being your parents right to make rules for their home, which include how they are raising you.
By and large the vast majority of parents love their children and treat them with respect. It seems to me that you are not respecting your parents, but are acting like a pouty three year old: "give me what I want because I want it." Your mother has expressed that you might move; getting animals that you may not be able to take with you when a move is possible or likely is not a mature decision.
You need to deal respectfully and maturely with your parents. Ask them politely what it will take to get their permission to have chickens, then work hard to meet those conditions. If they say no, listen to their reasons, and realize that they may
need to make that decision.
I said that they didn't say no a million times!
No one wants me to get a chickie!
Sorry, I know I'm overreacting, but you have no idea what it's like!
No offense or anything
Not trying to be rude or anything, but your posts also sound like you don't really know much about chickens. Something along the lines of a little kid wanting a pet bunny just because they are cute.
Crying and begging to us is only showing that you are too young to take on the responsibilities of raising chickens.
But it's not that my mom doesn't want pets, she says that we might "move to Philidelphia", which I highly doubt, or she thinks it will make me get worse grades in school. She thinks I'm making excuses when I give her the real reason I might not do so great at school, but what if they're TRUE?
