Got to admit, my wife and I are animal lovers and over the years with kids growing up we've had all sorts of animals living under our roof. Hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, stick bugs, ducks, cats, snakes, lizards, frogs, ferrets, budgies, cockatiels and chickens. No dogs amazingly enough, I'm not really a dog person and my wife really isn't either.
So the oddest pet we've had in our home and that we still do have, silkie chickens. Bantam sized chickens, can't ever fly, 5 toes instead of 4 with long feathers that grow on the outer toes, black skin, black bones, black muscles, bright blue cheeks and the hen needs her fluff round her eyes regularly trimmed so she can see. Like being bathed, like being blown dry, rooster crows but not on any sort of normal schedule (bantam sized means not loud, doesn't wake me up). Not smelly at all, live in a modified large wire dog kennel with aspen shavings at the bottom, easier to look after than many of the pets we've had over the decades.
So what is the oddest pet you've had in your home?
