Honestly, I think I am done with this chicken hobby. Anyone else feels like they are just chasing childhood nostalgia?

Just needed to vent a bit because I’ve been feeling this for a really long time and finally admitting it to myself today. I think I don’t like keeping chickens anymore.

Since I was a kid, I was absolutely obsessed with roosters and breeding. But honestly, for the past few years, I’ve just been forcing myself to stay in this hobby. I kept telling myself "no, I love this," but the truth is, the charm is completely gone.

Back in the day, the birds, the quality, and the whole vibe felt so pure. Now, it just feels like endless bakchodi, drama, and a massive headache. I realized I was just desperately trying to recreate that happiness and peace I felt during my childhood, but it’s just not there anymore. It feels completely empty now.

It feels weird to let go of something that used to be my whole identity, but forcing it is just draining my energy.

Has anyone else ever reached this breaking point where a lifelong passion just felt like a chore? How did you guys handle stepping away from your flock?

Sometimes I feel like I like them but other times I am just confused and frustrated i don't know what I want

I think it's because I am not getting what I am looking for, when I was a child rootsers back then was different, they were different miz hybrids that make me fall in love with them and I Never see anything like that again

So I guess it's the end of the journey for me
