How “mixed” is your mixed flock?

I’ve heard of mixed flocks.. but I think this is a bit too much 😂

My rabbit, Yves, became friends with my hen Elephant since they were put out to free range at the same time. Over the winter where I shut them in over night he would sit under the coop and wait for me to open it before going back in, even my chickens have accepted him. They’ll peck my arms(gently) when I go to take him out for the night, he even drinks out of their waterer.

Even when he was indoors his mother figure animal was our cat 😂 he’s such a strange little bunny, he won’t even go find another wild rabbit to hang out with.

Also the real big rooster, Clive, is TERRIFIED of him… he’s new to the flock and will jump over my hens if he gets too close, luckily he’s only a foster rooster.

I don't have a mixed flock but I know a guy who keeps pigs, a llama, goats, chickens and ducks and probably something I'm forgetting. At one point he had emus and everyone seemed to be living in harmony although I hated the emus. Terrifying creatures
