If you're paying for their feed and care, who cares what they think. If someone else is paying for feed and care, then you have to compromise.

they bring me so much joy it’s probably silly i could be having the worse day but pulling up a chair and sitting in their coops watching them makes me feel so much betterKeeping chickens is not just about eggs or meat, it is about enjoying them and the happiness they bring you.
I had 70+ chickens and wasn't even getting 1 egg every day. My chickens are more therapeutic for me, as are all of my animals. I downsized my flock because I never wanted it to get that big, but I would put eggs under my broodies and wa-la, more chickens. I wouldn't worry about them comments, just keep on keeping on with your birds.I’m not sure the exact size of the coop my birds are in but there’s about 23 easter egger hens and 2 roosters and i only have 4 silkies and then the two pairs. i ask more on why they’re wanting me to get rid of them and it’s pretty much because they aren’t producing eggs but it’s the wrong time of year for eggs + molting on top of that and silkies are always broody anyways but we never got them for just eggs they’re pets..
That is completely not true for some people...Keeping chickens is not just about eggs or meat, it is about enjoying them and the happiness they bring you.
Well then ignore them...i’ll try..it’s raining today so i’ll see what i can do i also plan on moving them to an ever bigger coop i just have to finish letting my 3-5 months old grow up.
also the one telling me to sell them isn’t the one that owns the land or house..
That is completely not true for some people...
Some people keep chickens for eggs and meat. They consider them livestock.
Other people keep chickens as pets and for enjoyment.
I have a layer flock, all of them are named. I have a meat flock, none of them get a name.As much as I agree with you and we do keep them as livestock but we still enjoy their company and their antics, some even get named and the odd character kept but then again we are as odd as the animals we keep.
