Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

My grandma got me 3 ducklings in 2019 for no reason. 3 ducks don't cost very much. The issue is, that she unlocked a passion. I now have 12 ducks. I want more, but I don't have the money or space.

    We just got few hens in spring. Week ago I found 2 chickens wondering on street.

    Took them home and my parents said that every normal child brings home some kitten or dog not 2 chick's.

    Oh yes. I'm having issues putting pics in this comment, so here's an imgur album. These are various birds from various stages of life. The big one with the red face is my fave. His name is Antonio.

    They are. I had two very aggressive males that I did not consider pets. The one became dinner and the other one was killed by the other ducks. I, and the other birds, have zero tolerance for bullies. Thankfully my whole flock is absolutely lovely now. <3

    that's what i do in my life too, remove myself from aggressive folks and let them deal with the consequences of their behavior. haven't had aggressive pets though, so not sure what i would do.
