How many types of poultry do you guys have currently? I have 4 types:
  • Chickens
  • Ducks
  • Guineas
  • Quail
And my other non bird animals are rabbits, fish, and cats.

- Just the 23 chicken hens from 5 different years. I ASSUME I'm not supposed to count the wild birds that seem to easily find their way in the auto chicken door but can't find their way out when I open the people door.
- 2 gelded alpacas given to us by people down the road that were moving to Florida 3 years ago.
- 3 house cats
- 9 fish in the aquarium
- No idea but about a bazillion minnows in the pond. After it dried and I dug it out 2 summers ago it refilled naturally. No idea if it would support fish again but I got about a dozen shiners and 2 dozen fathead minnows (about the only things you can legally throw in your farm pond). Didn't take long before we started seeing tiny fish ... all summer long. We'll see if there are still a ton in the spring. I am ASSUMING so since the pond is deeper now than it was before I dug it out and we always had some sort of fish in it every year. Managed to rescue 2 very small juvenile bluegill when the pond went dry. I raised them in a bucket in the house for the winter and put them in the pond a couple of weeks after the minnows. Don't know if they were Adam and Eve, Adam and Eliott or Anna and Eve. But if more bluegills ever become evident we will know it was the first option.
- Couldn't count the tadpoles and frogs. DD1 saved 50 tadpoles from the mud patch in the pond after I dug it. We also saw 3 red salamanders in there (never saw any before) and a teeny tiny snapping turtle.

The snapping turtle will take care of all the fish! :(
 
Loved my Grey Calls, or midget mallards as I called them! :lau
Mine were "free ranged", had a 25 acre lake they shared with my geese and other "wild" waterfowl.
Everytime I'd go fishing, they would fly across the lake to see if I had any goodies for them....very sociable birds. :lol:
