So my Mrs & I keep chickens.
We've had them since October last year and we've now got 13 (all were supposed to be girls until one of them started crowing - so the breeder gave us another chick to make up for it)
While I've seen a great many - "So what do you think about..." threads - I can't remember seeing one about pets.
What got us thinking was: Recently, when one of our birds got sick we had to take her to the vet and he said it was increasingly common for people to keep a couple of birds so to my fellow escapists: do you keep chickens? Or something else thats a pet/food?
