 What if I can’t keep the chickens I have? <br />o Shelters in the Twin Cities area do not take chickens. You need to have a back-up plan; <br />do you know anyone you can rehome the birds to? What kind of life will the new owner <br />provide the bird? <br />o Consider ways to keep your commitment to your chickens; CRR has some great advice <br />and tips on this and rehoming: http://www.chickenrunrescue.org/Finding-a-New-Home- <br />for-a-Chicken <br />o As a last resort, have them euthanized by an avian veterinarian; this is more humane than <br />releasing or letting them starve/freeze to death. <br /> <br />Referenced Materials: <br /> <br />Bloom, Jessi & Kate Bladwin. 2012.
