Moving with chickens

[Johnchickens2]

To be completely honest, I want to leave because my father and I don't get much along and I want my own freedom. And its sad that just because my father doesnt really like me, I need to let my flock go.
Sorry for the TMI ... but I just love my chickens which I hatched and raised, each has a name... its difficult enough to leave my house, now also leave them.....
They are like my kids.

No, I do understand that. Consider contacting a 4-h group, or checking at the feed store - maybe there is someone where you could go visit your flock.

Another option, is to sell part of them? Is there a way to add a small yard to the coop? Do you have pictures? Pictures always help.

Do you really think your dad doesn't like you? Read what you said about your chickens. They are like your kids. You ARE your dad's kid. You hatched and raised them. Your dad raised you much longer than you've had your chickens. Each of your chickens has a name. Your dad named you, too.

Something has come between you and your dad, obviously, but he will never stop loving you. Is there any way you can work things out with him so you and your chickens can stay where you are? Find out what he wants from you and see if you can't find some way to compromise so you and he are both happy. Good luck.

Thank you all, it's actually much more complicated than it sounds...
Currently I am looking for a place in a rural area that allows chickens (noise etc..) , I will be happy to post pictures when I find something that looks good to me. Hope it will all be alright eventually.....
