Love the babies.

Right now in my back room, running loose because the weather has been too bad to move them outdoors, I have 3 poults and 16 white orps. Also in a big tub I have 8 ducklings. And I have eggs hatching on Monday.
I have had 7 bottle baby goats in at one time. My DH is used to it, never blinks an eye. The only thing I had trouble with was my peacocks, it took me 5 years to get them, he was convinced they would scare me to death when they scream. I never hear them.
He is a good man, he knows they are my passion.

Wait, what's up with teh boar?

DH loves the chickens. He's decided when they stop laying we'll just have them as pets. And he wants duckies.

I told him we can get duckies when we get the front yard re-landscaped. No way are they gonna mess up my nice new chicken run. (We had ducks temporariily this autumn until they decided to migrate. Messy critters.)

So yeah - DH is a total teddybear about the animals.

Red hen, your husband must really, really love you. (That goat in a diaper is adorable.

)
The most I have had in the house are a couple of lambs and a bunch of chickens...and dogs...and a teenager.

Hubby: ok, fine, ONE
Me: they are social animals though, Ill get 2..it wont make any difference, you wont even notice
Hubby: the look

Hubby: You can't count. I said NO chickens.. thats THREE chickens.
Me:Where are you going?
Hubby: To Lowes to get the lumber for their stinking coop! Where are we putting it?

Let me put it this way, I can live without hubby, but I will always make a way to keep my animals. So.....

Generally though, he'll *say* no more animals, but when he sees them he can't resist either!
