That depends, where do you keep the cows?
Of course you can join, LOL
Thanks for the warm welcome! Who else here is a farmer? The cows, for the most part, stay outside. I did almost
bring a horse in one day, but my husband came home at the most inopportune time.

Welcome, Kay! I'm not a farmer myself but grew up visiting many of my older relatives' farms in.....Indiana! Some raised angus beef, some raised chickens/turkeys, some raised peanuts (that one was in Oklahoma) and my grandparents had a small farm with many animals and some crops. Most of those farms are gone now as it was the older generation but I do still have a second cousin that raises sheep and crops. I miss it!
Nope...I thought about having a few chickens before me moved up here. Hubby's dad had a couple of roosters over at one of the barns. DARN! Them's some MEAN critters!! So decided having chickens wasen't worth the hassle. Thanks again for the warm welcome...Should I change my avatar to an animal maybe??
Your avitar can be anything that you want it to be, as long as it's within ECF rules. You'll notice that some of us change fairly frequently. 
(I usually keep the beasties in mine somewhere- but that's to make up for ignoring them while i'm on the computer )

That's funny. I heard the roosters were mean. Our chicks are way too friendly! They love to be around us all the time. I made sure to handle them a lot then they were chicks so they were used to it! We are thinking about getting a rooster this year and I'm hoping the same will work for him.

Yeah, roosters can be serious trouble. We only keep hens, mostly because they work best for show, but also because we get the byproduct of mostly low cost eggs (when you finally make up for the purchase price of the show hens!)
And yeah, as Randi said as long as you handle them daily as chicks, by the time you move them outdoors you have lovable little cuddle birds clucking at you and following you around like a puppy.
Heck the black one that my son is hugging (in the post cute stuffs thread) was one to follow me around and rub her head on my leg like a cat would! And she would look up at me with this expression on her face when I didn't pick her up afterwards... Made me HAVE to pick her up!
Chickens are such silly little peoples...

I've raised a few lamb in my day. I had one that I called Cola because I was bottle feeding him with a cola bottle and nipple...I'd let him into the kitchen while I warmed put his milk in the micro..it was cute to hear the pitter-patter of his hooves on the floor. One day I was warming his milk, and when I turned back around that little scutter had somehow managed to get up in one of the kitchen chairs!! (they swivle and roll) And stood there and baaaaed at me like..."hurry up already, I'm ready for my Supper!" lol!
so we moved and i'm working on getting the house settled. so now, my pets only consist of two teenage boys lol and the aquarium with my turtles and their fishmates. i'll get to visit with all the babies after work through the week when i pick up the boys to bring them home, but it already isn't the same.

Couldn't you leave the two teenage boys and bring the babies instead?
