@chicken hawk 33 As a teen entering a contest like this is something I totally would have tried to get away with! I sprung more surprise pets on my parents than I would like to admitYou posted over 5,500 times. I'm pretty sure at some point you've dropped a few hints about not being a legal adult in the eyes of the law...
And the prizes are for 3 dozen eggs. That's a lot of potential chicks. I'd be livid if my kid entered a contest that sort of prize without my prior consent. These are live animals, not toys.
AS A PARENT I see things differently. I would sincerely hope my daughter would be able to talk to me about entering and that I in turn would be able to support her hobbies. I was totally on my own caring for and supporting my pets. No one bought me chicken feed or paid the vet bills, I had to do it myself. I TOTALLY would have entered to win 3 dozen eggs, but on refection between work and school I could not have cared for 3 dozen chicks on my own, and my parents would not have helped me enough to give them the quality of life they would deserve. This is exactly the situation the rules a designed to prevent. Talk to your mom and get her on board to the point she will vouch for you.
Remember 3 dozen chicks affects the whole family.
