Hi, I’m not really sure how to start this, but I could use some advice.

About a month ago my dad came home with two of those dyed/colored chicks they sell at markets. I hate seeing them like that, all crowded and dyed for selling. One of them died two days later, but the other one made it and has been healthy since.

We live in a second floor apartment, so she’s been indoors with me this whole time. I know this isn’t ideal. I know chicks aren’t supposed to be alone and definitely not raised in an apartment. That’s why I’ve always avoided getting pets in the first place. Getting another chick isn’t an option either my parents already complain about the poop constantly.

The problem is that she’s extremely attached to me, and I’m attached to her too. She follows me around. I love her, but at the same time I feel really guilty because I know this setup isn’t fair to her long term.

I’m stuck between not wanting to hurt her by rehoming her and not wanting to keep her in a situation that isn’t good for her. I just want to do the right thing and I honestly don’t know what that is anymore.

If anyone’s been in a similar situation or has advice, I’d really appreciate it. Please don’t be harsh I’m trying my best.
