Any other "Old McDonald" farms out there?

I work at the city farm which has:
Chickens
Geese
Ducks
Pigs (was 15 but they sold all the piglets on monday, so 1)
Sheep
Goats

In the spring they get in a calf and fatten it up before sending it to market too.

It's been a very steep learning curve with that lot

Unfortunately, I am stuck in suburbia with a total of two animals: chickens.

I've been told I should charge admission to my little zoo..

Let's see, outside I have:

1 donkey
1 crazy horse (not really, but I call him that anyway)
bunch of cows and a bull
6 baby calves
I've lost count on number of chickens and guineas and really do not want to know

inside:
5 dogs
2 cats
1 blue & gold macaw
1 yellow nape amazon
and 1 house chicken (Lunachic)

used to have a 55 gallon aquarium with African cichlids but decided enough was enough so they had to go... (needed the space for Lunachic)
 
Wow... Seems like I'm pretty normal right now with only two horses, three dogs and eight chickens!

I've had cows, steers, pigs, goats, sheep, snakes, rats, fish, parakeets, cockatoos, turtles, tortises, frogs and who knows what else. My brother and I would catch our new "pets" and bring them home. My mom is the type that doesn't freak out over snakes, bugs, rats, etc. So, when we'd bring these things home, she'd go get another aquarium from the pet store and set up a home.

I'll be the same type of mom, for sure!
 
We currently have 8 chickens, two dogs and a turtle somewhere? My wife works at a private college on 22 acres, which borders on the river where they raise chickens, sheep, goats and a few cows. They have a vegetable and herb garden and fruit trees everything is grown using organic farming practices.
 
Well, we have:

3 useless horses (Sugar, Roany and Finely)
2 pigs (bacon and porkchop)
1 inside cat Buckwheat
11 (yes 11) outside dogs......Sam and Amelia are parents of 7 puppies
Copper and Blue (the hound dogs)

We are currently refurbishing the barn that is almost as old as I am so that we can add some calves, (black and white ones ONLY according to the grandson)

One end is going to be my chicken coop, I have a friend who has set 12 eggs for me. And the son says we are going to have some turkeys.

Plans are also for a rabbit hutch.....

So, I guess we will qualify!
 
Well I guess we are part of the farm too.
We just named our farm and are offical Ashlib Farms!

30 chickens
(6 of which are roosters grrrr!)
2 Sheep
2 horses (Rusty App. , and Carrot AQH)
1 welsh cob pony
4 outside dogs
1 inside dog
and of course 18 incubated eggs!

We still have 15 arces left so we might get something else you never know!
