Farm Dogs

-




 We have lived on a farm for about 14 years give and take a little. We have really enjoyed the farm life, the farm animals, walks through the field, growing vegetables from the garden, raising baby chickens, gathering farm fresh eggs and watching baby goats play. Our farm dogs are one animal on our farm that I can't imagine life without! Not only are they great protectors of our farm, but they are always happy to see us every morning when we head out the door to feed and usually proceed to come with us to help with chores. They are part of our family and love us unconditionally! Most of our dogs have been dumped on us. Each one of them is a blessing!

              ~Welcome To Our Coop~ The coop.... I feel like the coop is the heart of the homestead. Farm fresh eggs are one of our treasures. It's the place we watch chicks grow and become big beautiful hens and roosters. The chickens provide kind of a Livelihood for us. There are so many uses for eggs here and the great health benefits and protein content makes for a wonderful thing to have access to here on the Homestead.                  Making a nice cozy place for our hens to lay eggs, have predator protection and weather protection is important.  A coop could be made of really anything that can withstand the weather and keep predators out. You could use a shed, a place in your barn, make a portable chicken coop, the ideas are really endless. The building you see here was made for our goats, but we turned it into a chicken coop and it works wonderfully! It's big enough to walk in...
