Okay. You Have Chickens. What Else?

[redinator]

I have chickens and I have no life outside of chickens...no conversation that is not chicken involved, no travel without my chickens.

Sorry, it's one of those days, lol

I need to jump on this thread...
Outside I have 1 horse, 1 mini horse, 5 mini donkeys, 5 alpacas, 5 goats, 2 rabbits, 10 barn cats, 3 geese, about 30 ducks, 20 quail, about 60 laying hens, 5 roosters, 21 chicks in the brooder, 22 eggs in the incubator, 28 chicks coming in June, and plans for more hatching eggs soon.
Inside, I have 3 cats, a border collie, a 180 gallon saltwater fish tank, and a 15 gallon freshwater tank.
To put it short... I have some issues.

Pictures, PLEASE!

This is Maggie. I've had her for about 10 years now. She is 26 years old.

This is Violet after she decided to head butt a hole through the barn.

This is Cash as a baby, he is my stud donkey.

Cash's and Lizzie's very first baby, Penny. She was born a couple of years ago.

Their most recent baby, Dolly. She was born on the 21st.

I have a bunch more photos posted on my farm thread if you'd like to see more!

It's a lot of work, but very worth it.

Outside animals we have just the 12 chickens and the 10 ducks, but we're currently looking for at least 5 more female ducks to add to the flock in the hope of getting a better ratio of drakes to hens.

Inside animals is a lot. We have 3 senior guinea pigs, 9 tarantulas, 4 toads, a frog, a skink, an alleged "dog" (We call her a harbor seal), some blue death feigning beetles, and a few turtles & tortoises. The count on the turtles varies because my partner tends to take in rescue cases, get them healthy again, and then rehomes them again. We do have a full time permanent sulcata and two redfoot tortoises though.

The dog and the poultry are honestly the most time consuming.
