yeah! that's cool. We currently have 2 cats, 1 dog and 2 horses. At our peak, we had 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 horses, 2 rats, 2 button quail, 1 pheasant, 6 mice, and 27 chickens. That's all I can remember that is. Oh, and we had a parrot and a parakeet and 2 finches.
so, yeah.. pets.
The chickens all got eaten... not by us. sad story... skunks and dogs and raccoons all seem to love chickens. the rats and mice died, the pheasant escaped, the quail thankfully died (they were noisy as sin,) the parakeet sadly died, and the parrot very sadly died, as she was much too young and got sick. One of the dogs died of old age, as did both the cats, which have been replaced.
On the plus side, we did get to see many of the chicks actually hatch... we had a brooder setup in one of our rooms. It was very cool. Funny, fluffy little wobbly chicks... somewhat confused but definitely desiring warmth and cuddling.
