Chickens? I think I might like having two or three... I find them cute, and wouldn't mind fresh eggs. Maybe that's just too much Harvest Moon talking, but still...
My strangest pet... Actually, I've only ever had the typical goldfish, hamsters, and a dog. I've also lived with cats, and they're great. But nothing too exotic. (Some of my friends have had rats, though, and they're surprisingly endearing.)
