Nice to have you here!

Yes, those chickens are addicting!

I started out with 25, and just chickens. Now I'm not counting how many chickens, have 20 ducks + 9 call ducks, 6 guineas, 6 turkeys, a mini pony, and 2 young steers!

Welcome to the group. Whereabouts in Ireland are you? My family lived near Dungarvan, Co. Waterford for 3 years, a long time ago when I was still in school. I don't get to go back there often, but always enjoy it when I do.
And yes, pictures would be nice.
