I have gone through stages of downsizing. Once I start getting rid of them and "seeing progress" I tend to want to get rid of more and more and more.......
I just got way overwhelmed. I live alone, have 4 dogs and now 2 cats, plus 2 bunnies.....4 ducks.....a zillion chickens. Work a full time job a half hour away from here. Own an old fixer upper house....boyfriend out of state....its just too much for one person to handle. i have ZERO help whatsoever. I get home after dark......its just too much. I need to just have 2 pens....3 during breeding season. "fun birds", my favorites ever (bantam mottled cochins) and an olive egger pen during springtime. Other than that, I need time to work on my house, and do yard work, and clean house, and take care of the other animals, and keep everything under control enough that a petsitter can handle it when i am gone for weekends to see my man.
I just like having "pets".....its too much work having all these pens during winter. Can't handle it! I have so many house projects I have put off to do chicken projects instead. Something has gotta give!
