I would have a story and pictures to share and i want to but . . .
My Parents dont want chickens
My dad was looking thorugh an urban living magazine and saw that you could raise a small flock and get a decent amount of eggs. He told my mom ,my sister and I adn we all told him he was crazy for thinking of the idea and said no way . (
in my defense i didnt know about this site then. . . ) and he tried to convince us but decided to give up on the idea. But every day i liked the thought more and more. About a week later I told him i actually thought that it was a good idea and me and my sister tried to get him back into the idea but by this point he thought " oh nevermind, it will never work and it will be too much work" and my mom doesnt like the idea because she thinks they will poop too much and make to much noise
So at this point we Are in FFA and we can do an SAE ( supervised agriculture project) and we recently started raising Market lambs at our County fair but we both my sister and I want Chickens for laying eggs and because our lambs will be sold at the end on the summmer . . . How do i convince them . . .
we have the room and i have showed them i can handle the responsibblility . . . I am 15 and so is my sister ! But we think of the positive and they think of the negative such as Poop, Noise, Attracting preadators ( we have a small dog they think will get hurt:/ ) What do I do? please post why they are good and some things to try to convince them
You probably have heared this a thousand times but I have been a member on this site for months and have become addicted listening and reading to all your stories and i want to share pictures and stories with you all too, and a bonus is that we have made friends with our local feed store and they are getting chicks in this month and they have the breeds we want ( BR and EE )
They are worried about :
1 attracting preadators
2 Too much noise
3 too much poop
4 being tied to the house when we want to go on vacation
5 money
please help
thanks Angie
