I have visited this site a few times and finally joined. I have 3 Australorp and 2 Golden Hex. 2 cats, 1 Red Heeler and 1 Kelpie, 2 cockatiels and a peach face and one fish. I wasn't going to have any more chickens when the last ones died. I had one Australorp left and she didnt look happy and although doesn't lay eggs any more I just couldn't get rid of her. I have relented and bought 4 more chickens 2 Australorp and 2 Hex. No I dont live on a farm just a suburban block.
