rehomed the chickens

[featheredplanets]

Rehomed the last of my girls today. Feeling sad. They’ve gone to a nice lady who lives in the village over, she already has 2 from me. She said I can visit them, so I might do that at some point. They had to go as with going back and forth between parents’ houses and starting college this year, I don’t have the time for them. I know some people say “they’re just chickens” but I feel bad for them and me. I live mainly at my dads and he said I can keep quail there but it’s not the same. I so wanted to see Jolie’s blue eggs and Starsky is so close to laying! Here’s their goodbye pics:

Beautiful girls. So sorry you had to make that decision

Such a beautiful flock. I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to them but at least they have a good home.

Aww!! I know that had to be hard!
Maybe after college you can start a new flock with some of their offspring?

Glad that you found a good home for them.

That is hard to do. But it sounds like you made a decision based on what's best for the flock, and that's the thoughtful thing to do.

Best of luck to you with college!

Oh gosh, I am so sorry! This is not easy on the heart to rehome them. I am sure they miss you too. Beautiful flock though!

Who knows. Maybe someday you can get fertile eggs from your rehomed girls and start a new flock. You did what is best for your girls. Proud of you.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I appreciate it very much. I’m glad they got a good home too. I asked the lady if she would send me updates and egg pics when they lay, she said she will and she’ll update me for the next couple of months. Keeping chickens again is something I’ll consider after college but they definitely are challenging pets. Thank you all again. I hope I can still stay a part of this community and continue to contribute what I can

Stay! You’ll not only be getting a college degree but you’ll be an expert in chickens!
