A lot of factors go into if a relationship should continue and if animals are important to a person then continuing a relationship with someone who didn't love animals might make both people miserable further down the line.
Saying all that, the girl might simply be unable to have chickens where she lives. Maybe she loves poultry.

Ok man just find out why she doesnt want you and the chickens.
then decide wether you want her or the chickens.
Now granted i love my wife and wouldnbt trade her for any of my birds but she also wouldnt make me decide between them either.
Be careful of anyone who doesnt accept you for you and your interests.
Trying to chande people never works out.
And besides you dont have hundreds and hundreds of chickens do you?
Tell her chickens go shoes follow lol

well dang, I have flip flops because we have summer. I have boots because we have winter. I have tennis shoes for the field and tennis shoes to go out in public. I have brown boots and blacks boots for dress, you must have black summer shoes, black winter shoes, ditto for brown, navy blue, beige. Every woman needs one pair of seriously red shoes. I must have all colors in all heel sizes, becuase sometimes I wear pants and sometimes I wear skirts. I also wear short skirts and long skirts. Some shoes need a bright shine, others a muted shine .........
Look I take care of my animals, my husband, my kids, and work full time. I NEED SHOES!!!!!
Chickens or girlfriend? Chickens.

I've been married 36 years so I'm well aware that a lot of factors either make a realtionship work or not. My animals are important to me......other than the cattle they're not so important to him. I don't think either of us ever considered that it had to be one or the other....us as a couple or the animals. If he has to even ask a bunch of strangers which to chose....her or the chickens I still say she needs to dump him and run the other way.

A long term relationship in which both people have invested in one another is different then a girlfriend/boyfriend in which they are trying to determine if they have the right person or not.
Like I said before, a lot of factors go into deciding if someone is the right one. That is why I am so grateful that I dated before I married. I decided that guys-some who were very nice- did not suit me for one reason or the other.
If at the beginning of a relationship, I had been told that a man did not like dogs and didn't want my dogs in his house, I would have broke up with him. No use in taking the relationship further. It isn't that the dogs are more important then the boyfriend but that I like animals and a person who doesn't would be ill suited for me. I would have done the same thing if a date told me that he never wanted kids. It isn't wrong not to want kids, but I knew that I wanted to be a mother.
I would not pick my dogs over my husband but I would not have married a man that wasn't at least tolerant of animals and my love for them.
But I don't want to pick on the poor girlfriend. Maybe she can't have chickens where she lives or she is allergic. Also, I think that the OP meant this to be a humorous thread. I doubt that he is going to actually dump the girl.

I think its just amazing that we team up with someone we think might be "the one" and then the wheedling, whining, and ultimatums start. My DH isn't cracked about animals, or inside animals, but he knew when we dated and long before we were married that I was an animal lover. He has adjusted. I came in the front room the other night and two of the dogs was in his lap, one on each side sound asleep. He really HAS adjusted!!! He also loves the alpacas, and doesn't care if I get chickens or goats, which are on my list . . . I can't understand the fact that if you really and truly "love" or even strongly "like" a person, why would you want to make them unhappy over a hobby or interest. I feel like if working on a lawnmower makes DH THAT content, then why rattle his cage? He could be at the bar, or with another woman, or just plain mean . . .I guess I am a simple person. Let happy be happy. If your SO is happy, then he/she will be happier with you when they aren't with the hobby . . .you know what I mean!!
