DH wont let me get a chicken

I want to have a little chicken house next to our shed and he said no. He won't give me any reasons, he just said because.

What happened to discussing things! I'm so frustrated.

When he wanted to build a big 12x20 shed I had no say. He had to pour concrete, didn't even care what I thought.

I just want a few chickens to take care of. And get fresh eggs from.I don't understand what the big deal is.

  • Now there's a fight I'm pretty sure DH and I will never have!!

     Good luck winning your chickens.

  • i would say no if DH asked for any kind of fowl.  gross.  just buy fresh eggs from the farmers market.  who wants that upkeep?

  • I can't stop laughing at the title of your post. I thought for sure I was reading it wrong. Hey, if I had the room, I would take a chicken or two.

    What stinks is the fact there is no discussion. When DH tries to pull this crap, I call it "The word of the Lord." For some reason that reasonates with him. Granted, I still may not get what I want but at least we talk about it. Tell your husband that its important to talk through these things. You're just as entitled as he is, he doesnt have the final word. He is not your father :)

  • omg, this is totally my issue. i want a couple of chickens. we live in a townhouse with a rooftop deck. plenty of room. and dh says no! so unfair. my friend in santa monica has like 6 chickens and her neighbors never complain. she has tons of fresh eggs.
  • We're staying with my MIL and she has a bunch of chickens.  They smell bad and peck at people so I stay away from them but to each their own.  I say keep on him until he gives in.  They're minimal upkeep and really cheap to have around.  Plus, the fresh eggs are really good.  You should get Easter Egg chickens (MIL has a couple)... their eggs are colored so they make me happy :)  I'm sure if you biitch enough he'll give in.

  • What do you do with them in the winter?
  • lol, sorry it just makes me giggle that you're fighting about chickens. Seriously though, he should man up and at least talk to you about it. It would be great to have a couple chickens and fresh eggs!
