 :wave: hello from Caithness we have about 18 assorted chickens also gathered from various sources, only one actually bought, very assorted sheep, 29 at the moment, an old wethered Angora goat, 2 Pygmy goats, 2 Gloucestershire Old Spot weaners for weed clearing, and two cats, one who does a fairly good job of rodent control and the other a purely ornamental Siamese who only goes outside when it's warm and sunny but has been seen to walk as far as the compost heap ! Welcome to our community.
