My plans for the future-chickens, ducks, quail

Most places require a minimum of 5 per breed for bantams. You could always find someone to split an order with

Yeah, splitting an order could be good...I think that it's kinda a lot to order 25 chicks if I only want like 5 of them....ugh I wish more places offered sexed bantams.

It's because sexing is already difficult on standards, bantams are even smaller and it can be dangerous if you push too hard to sex a bird

Yeah, I know. I still wish though

I've recently decided that at some point I'd like to have a bunny. I don't know when, or how many, just that I'd like to have a bunny. It would probably be at some point between my bantam chickens and my large amounts of birds. In that gap, I'd also like to get at least one Maine Coon cat, and maybe also a ragdoll cat. (floofy cats are my favorites)

I don't suggest Flemish giants or Netherland dwarf. Both in my experience have anger issues.

Ok then, thank you! Duly noted.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I've lost all resolve that I had to NOT live on a farm. I would like to live on a farm. I would also like sheep, and possibly horses, goats, and cows.

Just a heads up, those all take a ton of wirk, way more than birds and rabbits do, and we all know birds can take a lot of work

Yep! Those are definitely a lot lower on my list than the birds. I most likely won't end up with any, but they're just going to be in the back of my mind

Living on a farm + holding onto a secure job don't tend to go hand in hand. When I was younger I dreamt of living on a farm. Still not quite there yet (my area is a mix of "mini farms", with half city slickers and half retirees who refuse to stop living a self sufficient lifestyle) but I've only gotten this close because we decided we can get by on one income, so I "retired" in my early 30s so I could do more work for no pay.

Either have a lot of kids to help out with work or marry rich to pay for someone to do the work.
