As far as "other" types of animals. Of course there are the chickens, but the are not near the fun the Guineas are.
The wife runs a Miniature Horse business. She has a boat load of mini mares and two NICE studs.
I love the babies, they are such Shenanigans.
We only keep the class A horses, even the mares go down the road if they are above 32 inches and have produced a baby from the smallest stud that is not well porportioned.
We do sell the stud colt babies pretty cheap. Only the BEST are kept. The little colts (cut) make great horse buddies for big sized horses, especially big mares.
Oh... I LOVE mini horses... I've always wanted one for the yard. I just have a regular old 15.1 quarter horse now (who's boarded off our property), but someday when we have more land I'd love to have one for driving
