I’m starting this thread to see who, on BYC has other animals other than birds....I’m betting most of us. I’ll start. I have a hobby farm full of small animals all the way up to livestock. It keeps us busy morning till night..good thing we retired young!! (40)! Besides just listing what we have...I’d like to see pictures and hear stories about them! I’m sure we all have great stories to tell! We have 14 chickens, 1 rooster, 14 pullets, 3 cockerels, 1 goose, 23 ducks, 27 rabbits—and 2 due to kindle this week!!, 2 goats-due to kid at the end of the month!!, two pot belly pigs, 1 Hampshire pig and 3 dogs. One of my ducks is Little Lou...he is my favorite. He is the runt. He’s a Saxony and beautiful, but it took him ten months to become fully feathered, and he never got more than 1 1/2 lbs. Last math he got stepped on and broke his knee. We couldn’t take him to the vet. I had to tube feed him 4 times a day for 4 weeks. He got better, but his knee is not healed right. But he’s alive and still my sweet Little Lou. He lives in the corner of the barn now, so he’s with the others, but can’t get hurt. I keep it wrapped and give him Epsom salt wraps. He’s a trooper. He’s my favorite little guy...now it’s your turn!
