I'm leaving BYC forever...

Until you get a run, pick up the poop as best you can. I would suggest diapers, but I don't know if thats a great option, but probably better than loosing them.

My grandma would never give them back. I know her... But IF MY DAD COULD CANCEL THE DEAL!! Bye, I have stuff to do. If you need me try 1am-3am (I am a night owl)

Can you get your grandma to cancel the deal? That would be perfect!
Would she listen to you if you told her how much you loved the birds, and that you have a plan to keep them? Would she tell your dad she won't take them for you?

If not, then just tell her they have an incredibly contagious disease that will kill all her poultry if she takes them. Problem solved.

Edit: For all of you who read "bride" instead of birds, my computer auto corrects "birds" to bride for some reason lololololol! I fixed that.

It will never work. I need to convince my dad to keep them. It is the only way. He will cancel if I can get this to work. It's not a very noble way of convincing him but I'm gonna have to pull in some tears. They are already here, but I've been keeping them in check. I really hope this works. You can tell me I am a bad child for manipulating them AFTER I try. To be honest I am desperate, and I usually try to avoid doing this. It may not even work, but I have to try.

Did you read my other post about showing them you have a plan? Thats the very best way to convince them. Throw in some tears if you want, I think you love them enough to do that.
Find a few leads on material, etc, and show your parents you can do this. Do you believe in yourself? Perfect, yes is the answer I want to hear. You got this!

I'm rooting for you! Good luck!

Then build a coop, and get a job! Do your schoolwork! It has to work out.

Like she said, if you set your mind to it you absolutely got this. I don't see anything holding you back other than showing your dad you can do this.
@FactoryReject, how long do you have until you grandparents come to pick up the poultry?

Unknown maybe a week

Here is my daily plan:

1.) Clean the whole house (That ALWAYS puts my dad in a good/better mood)

2.) Show dad how much I love them by cleaning up after them and giving EXTRA affection

3.) If he mentions that he is getting rid of them, I cry (I've just been shoving it down when I want to cry, so just not shove it down?)

4.) (About an hour) After he mentions it I will ask if maybe I could REDUCE the flock instead of just getting rid of it

5.) Make breakfast with eggs (so that he will at least keep them for the eggs)

6.) Repeat steps 1,2,3
