Today I bought 4 hens to add to my collection of 3 cats and a dog. I'm also strongly considering rescuing some old donkies to keep my field under control. I know it might seem a bit much and I do get a lot of shit about it from everyone I know. But honestly, I'd live on a petting farm if I could!

Other animal lovers - tell me about your furry/fluffy/feathered friends and what it is you love so much about them. Make me feel like I'm not the only one!

The problem is I live in an area where we have a lot of foxes so the 2 are not compatible

I'm exactly like this, my dream is to win the lotto and open an animal sanctuary

We have loads of foxes here but all of my neighbors have chickens. They protect them by putting chicken wire under the ground beneath their run to make sure the foxes can't dig up underneath the run.

No we didn't get rescues because our next door neighbour is a breeder and giving them to us for free. Starting off with just 4, but if it goes well we'll rescue some more.

Have you thought about having an alpaca. You can shear them every summer. Their wool when woven makes great pullovers. Also they will keep foxes away from the hens

They need very little care. Just hay in the winter and some crushed oats and shelter. They are very friendly

Definitely gonna look into this. If they need less space than donkies they could be a great option. Thanks for the idea!

How much space have you graze. A pair might be a better option. Company for each other. There are a good few herds in Ireland where you can purchase stock. Good luck wherever you decide to do
