I'm not sure that I could really call all of them "pets", I suppose... Although, I treat most of them like pets; talk to them while I'm feeding them, etc. Among the chickens, some are considered "pets" and are exempt from chicken dinners. They have names. However, the turkeys have names as well, but aren't thought of as pets by me. (but my wife thinks of them as pets, hence didn't want ANY part of killing, plucking, etc. to prepare them for thanksgiving) Christmas is the next turkey to die; my father in law is taking a turn at the plucking. Half the rabbits were purchased to let loose so after a few months I could hunt them; my wife has outlawed hunting the "escapees", so I haven't released them - they're still in cages as pets (to be sold as such at Easter, or better yet, to be bred so that the little ones will be ready for adoption at Easter.) We have 2 other rabbits, not listed, that run around the yard, usually around 10pm and 5-6 am.

2 dogs (Blue & URL), 2 cats (Jack & Goldie), 1 hamster (Isadora), and 13 chickens (1 rooster called Stu and 12 hens-11 unnamed, 1 named Nutsy because she's either retarded or very near-sighted.)

Does she just pick words/sounds up or do you have to train her?

Just picks them up, wont have any of the training stuff. Either waddles away or starts throwing stuff :laugh: But she does most of her talking when no one is in the room. When I am in the room, she only talks when she wants something "scratch, "come heree scratch", "gimme kiss", etc. But once she is alone in the room she is just a chatterbox. Oh and if i say bye I usually tell her where I am going and now when Im not in the room she says schooool or shop.
