I think things are finally coming to a head for you (& Newton of course). My guess is 2-3 days or sooner. I'm guessing since you've got daddy's girlfriend on your side and I assume you are daddy's little girl, that SOME thing should be able to be worked out that you can keep at least one of the little ones if more than one is born. Not quite sure I understand where the aunt comes into the picture unless maybe she owns the home and property where you live and you're leasing it from her. Maybe she doesn't want any more farm animals there if that's the case.

You know, not trying to be cold or unfeeling here, :old but you are legal age and can start prepping to get out from under daddy's wings and start trying to stretch your own... :clap Might have to give up the livestock for a few years :hit until you can get a place of your own and established, but you'll have all this experience to draw on and can start raising your own menagerie. :celebrate
My aunt helps manage the farms bank account, doesn't own any of the property and she's the one who bought us 40 new chicks when we didn't even have space for them. I have a feeling newton and her baby aren't going anywhere hopefully. And if she is I'm prepared to fight lol.

And ya I have already putting thought into what's going to happen.... I will likely be staying at home till my culinary school is done, and sadly yes I probably will have to give up animals for a little while :hit (just watch me get a house goat :lol: cause I can't bare the loneliness)

OK... now hear me out... Ahem... cough cough... Since you're going to be doing culinary school, and since you like various livestock, and livestock/cooking/eating/fine dining all kinda "go together" perhaps... just maybe, you could get employment in a restaurant where you could grow and provide some of the animals for the meals? Obviously you wouldn't butcher your pets, but you could have an income generating farm that allows you to keep pets as well. You could plant an herb garden as well to provide all the fresh herbs for the cooking you'd be doing. I mean maybe even open your own place down the road and specialize in goat/sheep/chicken/pork, whatever appeals to you.

You could make new kids meal product called "Newton Nuggets" made from goat meat... I'm sure they'd be all the rage ;)

To be honest that is the best idea I have heard all day!! Lol my school is already interested in our livestock lol but it would be once we are on a larger scale lol

I wasn't going to go as far as @Latestarter with regard to your age. Only as far as "yes you are still a teen but now of legal age so (presumably) more responsible and definitely old enough to be included in decisions of this nature". Of course you were old enough before your birthday too :D I could kinda see if you hadn't ever shown any responsibility and were never involved with the animals but clearly the opposite is the case here!!

Of course here in the USA you aren't officially responsible until you are 25 ... or get married, whichever comes first. What good things happen when you become "responsible"? Your car insurance goes down. And you can't rent a car until you are 25 unless it is through a company you work for.

Be aware there are liability insurance implications if you start selling to the public including a restaurant you may work at. Not saying "don't do it" but "add that to your list of things to look into".

Sure seems like Newton is getting closer from all the signs you've mentioned (and affirmed by people who know what they mean ;) )

Newton Newton Newton Newton Newton :weee
