How Many Animals Do You Keep That Are Considered Pets To You?

[eggsandhens]

Hey guys, I was looking at some old threads the other day, and stumbled upon @chickenmama109 ‘s thread “How many animals do you have” and thought “Huh, I wonder how many animals people keep that are considered pets to them!” So, just for fun, I though I would make this thread!

The question: How Many Animals Do You Keep That Are Considered Pets To You?

Other questions you can answer (but don’t have to):
How many animals do you have? (props to @chickenmama109)
What animals do you have?
How many pets do you have?
What percent/fraction of your animals do you count as pets?
And any other question you want!

100% of my babies are just that, my babies! I have 4 chicken girls, a rabbit, a cockatiel, and a dwarf hamster.

I have 16 chickens (1 Cockerel and 15 Pullets) and a Boston Terrier.
I also have a 1 year old and a 4 year old!!

The dog is a pet. I try not to view the chickens as pets in case I ever make soup from one (the cockerel is on thin ice) but they all have names and it’s hard to draw the line

I have 17 chickens (16 hens/pullets & 1 rooster), I also have 2 standard goldendoodles.
100% are considered pets to me.

So cool! I always wanted a dwarf hamster, however growing up I wasn’t allowed haha

They can be good pets, though not the best for young children!

Thanks, & I need more coops, but my grandpa is stubborn .

2 horses - both unwanted rescues, 1 is a gelding that follows me like a puppy dog, the other is a spoiled rotten mare that is a daddy's girl. Rofl

1 dog - shepherd / aussie mix, getting up there in his years.

1 cat - part Maine coon, part tabby and always my bedtime snuggler.

9 cockerels of various ages (trying to find homes for a bunch of them, hubby said we can only keep 3) and 11 pullets of various ages.

1 pet rock - it sits on my kitchen window sill, my daughter made it in kindergarten as a mother's day present and it's been with me ever since.

They are all my babies and I love each one dearly.

That’s a lot! And I bet your daughter’s rock is a very friendly and well-behaved pet

We currently have 35 chickens and 29 rabbits for a total of 64 non pets. 67 once you count the dogs. At least half of those are chicks or baby rabbits with no names or role yet.

We have a lot right now. It will go down.

That is a lot! That’s really cool that you’re able to raise so many at a time!

I have 24 chickens. 2 older (and my older I just mean older than the younger chicks) buff Orpington pullets, 2 cream legbar pullets, 2 cream legbar cockerels... and then 18 almost-4-week old chicks which includes; 8 buff Orpington pullets, and 10 New Hampshire reds (I think 2 are cockerels. Possibly 3).
9 quail.
7 call ducks.
20-30 guineas.
4 cats.
A silly rabbit!
2 Hermit Crabs.
3 Betta Fish.
All of mine are pets.

Wow! That sure is a variety! That’s awesome!
