I Really Want A Chickie!!!! *cries*

Good advise here. Also, would it be possible for you to join a 4H group and learn more about them? That may give you an opportunity to help out at someone's house, learning to care for them. If you show your mom that you are responsible enough to handle them without additional work on her part, she'd be more willing to give it a chance.

Also, you keep mentioning cute fluffiness - chicks are only small and fluffy for a few short weeks. Maybe your mom thinks that once they grow up, you won't be interested anymore and she'll be taking care of them?

Folks, please stop & think....if you live with your parents & they say "no chickens" that means....wait for it...NO CHICKENS.

Agreed. Folks, for anyone to offer chickens to a young person living at home whose parent has said no to chickens is irresponsible at best. As a parent, I would be livid, first with my kid who went against my instruction, then with the person who gave the birds to my kid, knowing I was firmly against it.

To the OP, this is between your parents and yourself. Maturity means realizing we cannot always have what we want the moment we want it. Wynette made an excellent suggestion for you.​

My mom didn't say no chickens, at that time, she just thought we couldn't have them. We can now.

That's really nice of you guys!

I know everyone is very different, but I have chickens in my backyard, in town (It's legal!

), and I'm a straight-A student, have a Z guided reading level, etc... I also complete my homework on time, and I'm the only one who cares for my hens.

If she really wants it (Which I know she does!), and wants to keep good grades, I'm sure she could do it.

Good luck, birdies!

I hope your mom agrees!

Thank you!!

The point here is, you live with your mother, you need to follow her rules........ School is more important that anything else right now.

Amigo, I see you mention God in several of your posts, doesn't God say honour thy Mother and thy Father?
