The people that I work for have a lot of animals. Goats, sheep, llamas, ducks, geese chickens, horses and mini horses.
Me, I currently own one very spoiled yard rooster named Rex =) Going to get a bunch of hens once I get the new coop built.

I don't have any farm animals, like in a yard or barn, but I do have ducks, alligators, egrets. Things like that that live in the lake behind my house. I do feed them. Do they count? LOL.

Have to laugh because I vowed I wouldnt own certain animals, since they end up owning me. So instead of six hens and two roosters we are fast on our way to dozens more (chicks). And then a friend encouraged me to get back into goats since I make so much cheese and soap from the milk, so alas two new Nubians. Am going to get a couple meat goats. Will be housing four lambs at a friends large property. Do my bee hives count? We have been a bee keeping family since long before I was born. I make so many Tasha Tudor style dipped candles. And am starting to use both the honey and wax in milk based lotions where I also use my home grown French lavander.

I am only counting farm animals and I don't name what we will be eating or selling, they are 3 nubian/boer cross does ( Belle, Susan and Peanut) who have kids right now, 3 black whiteface heifers who are Tinker, Pauline & Bonnie who are bred and will be calving soon, 3 Sulfolk ewes, Daisy and Natty and Fluffy, they all have lambs right now, my dairy Swissbrown, Molly Moo Cow, who also is due to calf soon. 2 bluebutt sows that are bred and due in about 3 weeks, their names are Petunia and Miss [bleep]y. We have 2 sweet grade ponies, Oliver and Misty, and 2 Quarter horses, Buck and LuLu. We have 5 dogs, Jerico (wolfdog), Ifa (pit/queensland x), Pebbles (staff/bull terrier), Pickles(rat terrier) and Ruby(carin terrier), 3 house cats, YoYo, Whisper and Andy, too many barn cats to name, and 2 parakeets, Sherbert and Blue Boy. also 2 California Desert Tortisises, Tootsie and Lil Man. 6 New Zealand/Californian cross breeding does, they have numbers, and 2 cross bucks who are numbered also. I average 35 laying hens ( red sex links)and 2 roosters with them and no names, plus I raise 80 -100 meat chickens per year, 10-12 turkeys sometimes more and 4-6 geese and 4-6 ducks all for meat, so no names. I think i listed everyone,lol.

I have a different name for the fox, #%&&*#@
3 dogs Cheerios, Saylor and Chief
3 cats Chessie, Hobo and Princess, plus a few strays
chicks and rabbits to come this spring! One day goats and a mini mule
Forget buns of steel, I'd rather have buns of cinnamon!

No farm animals, but some loving animal and fowl family members. We have 3 dogs, 2 peafowl, and 3 ducks that seem to have adopted us and our pond!

I have 2 cow girls, almost 7 month old Roxie Lou and 20 month old Mazie Moo. Then Abby, Faith and Sadie Mae Belle, the Lamancha does and Sandy the Nubian. 3 dogs, Bubba, Sophie and Zoe. Sophie and Zoe are Rat Terriers and will be 13 in July. 6 cats. Soshe, Sybel, Gilbert, Cosmos, Alex and Andy Oakley. 19 hens, only one named. Hildi the Americana, because I can tell her apart from the others. And 2 roos, Jimmy Buffet, the Buff and Mr. Casanova, the game roo. Plus 4 stinkin' bucklings that will remain nameless because they all might be in the freezer in about 8 months. I am still impatiently waiting on Sandy to have hers. Any day now. That's all, folks.

6 quarter horses
1 minuture horse

5 dairy calves in training to become farm oxen
1 bred doe****hoping for a couple more dairy goats the pen is now ready**
2 rabbits
8 laying hens

While my mind is at work, my heart is back home on the farm. |

1 rooster Wild Bill
15 laying hens Miss Ivy, Sister Hattie Lou, Lady Red, Black Betty, Pete, Garden Helper, Ethel, Kiki, Buttercup, Sammy Six Guns, Trouble, Bob-r-Jack(we had two black ones that were identical, one died and we're still not sure whose left, so she gets both names!) and three more that we call the Little Girls. Hopefully today we will be getting five or six more when my hubby gets and we go to Tractor Supply!
2 white male Pekin ducks called The Dudes
1 female choclate lab Joie, she is going to be 10 years old this summer.
2 guinea pigs Edward and Jacob
15 turkey babies should be coming in any day now. They will all be named Dinner!
Take care, Melissa.

We rent, and here's what we can get away with:
Haflingers Nomad
Merlin
Lola
Appendix QU Diamond
BLM burro/ " pink donkey" Pinky
Standard donkey Brownie
Australian shepherds Tank
Poria
" jack/rat/queensland mixes" Oreo
Ratty
Stray black lab puppy Sheba
Barn Cats Silvie
Goldie
Poe
A large number of our animals were rescues at one point.
We are zoned for 4 chickens. lol! But Tank is not kind to chickens or rabbits, so we will not get any chickens until we own and can build a proper pen.
I would like to have goats again someday, and bees, when we own.

Haflingers- You can't have just one!
