This is my daughter's farm page: follow along as she continues to build her farm. Right now, she has quite a few baby animal pics posted.
It’s wild to think this homesteading journey started around a decade ago. I was a determined 14-year-old with a dream of farming, starting out with 8 Jumbo Pekin ducklings from Tractor Supply, a Woolly/Angora doe named Cotton born from my dad's rabbits, & a Nigerian Dwarf named Pearl.
Since then, I’ve grown right alongside my farm. I’m now 23 with 4 acres full of birds & livestock, & every step has taught me something new. If you’ve met me in person, you know this isn’t just a hobby; it’s truly my passion. I carry that experience into my business, Kytty's Critters & Family Care, where I get to use what I’ve learned to care for others' pets & farms.
Life as a small business owner & homesteader isn’t always easy, but it’s deeply rewarding. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m enjoying the present while also looking forward to the day I can share this lifestyle with my future children.
Animals I currently have:
* Chickens (BYM & d'Uccle) 🐓
* Ducks (BYM & Calls) 🦆
* Muscovies
* Guinea fowl (color mix)
* Narragansett turkeys 🦃
* Cotton Patch geese 🪿
* Nigerian Dwarf goats 🐐
* Katahdin sheep 🐑
* Kune Kune pigs 🐷
* Scottish Highland cattle 🐂
* Miniature donkeys (technically my dad’s, but eventually mine) 🫏
* A variety of rabbits (Holland Lops, Lionheads, & LionLops) 🐰
Animals I’m working towards:
* Meat rabbits (Tamuk &/or New Zealand) 🐇
* Chicken expansion (Serama, Silkie, Ayam Cemani) 🐓🐓🐓
* Quail (attempted right before Hurricane Helene 2024, will try again soon)
* Possibly Emus or Rheas one day
* Swans (cause why not 🤷🏼♀️) 🦢
* Peafowl 🦚
* Llamas or alpacas (leaning toward alpacas) 🦙
* of course, 2 horses for me & my husband to ride 🐴🐴
* Bees 🐝🍯
Can’t forget the garden lol

Follow along as I continue this homesteading journey: building toward self-sufficiency, staying connected to nature, & teaching the next generation (or helping others who are new to this). 🌱
