What's missing?
That's a lot of work, nice of you of taking care of all these animals

They try my patience at times but they are all loveable. I think I am stuck with them but I guess that's ok, it's better knowing they are having a quality life. The big black one doesn't get along with anything so it's a shuffle game but he seems happy. I wish I could find a good home for him but certain people make it almost impossible to find homes for dogs these days.

"The chickens are my only source of income..."
Are they guiding your stock market picks?
I spent waaay too much time making this pic.

They lay golden eggs actually. Well people are always buying eggs and chickens that lay them anyway. Those little dark colored ones go for $5 each at a day old and that's actually considered a low price but I'm not out to get rich.

Chickens are the way of the past. You should get with the times and get some fish!

Spending one's time among so many chicks teehee and nature, breathing in clean air? Not too shabby.

It's a short commute to work and certainly no smog.

Nice doggos!
You seem to live a very peaceful life, but I suppose there's always the other side of the coin

It's all fun and games until someone takes someone else's chew toy. Then Little Miss Sunshine turns into Bloodsport. It's pretty laidback most of the time really. I just have to kind of keep an eye on things. Some of the dogs like KFC and sometimes play can turn into rough housing.

I'm too afraid to even try a cat, I love them though

Looks like you have quite a big area for the chicken to roam. Glad that it's working for you as an income source!

2.5 acres, I ran chicken wire all around it. I split it up to keep different chickens separate too, that's a big deal to some people. I lost some chickens so I took a chance and started training those Akitas and it paid off.

You are your own boss its better than 9 to 5 white collar job. Just sharing my experience.

It is nice but also when bad things happen you carry the loss. It is also nice not having to spend 1/4 of your paycheck on gas for transportation and all that commute time. There are definite plusses. I've not been losing chickens now those dogs are outside so it's been good lately.

I like chickens, they are useful and easy to take care of. I wonder how you got your dogs to behave around your farm animals? I imagine most dogs would want to kill chickens.

Some of my dogs I have to keep a close eye on, the Akitas just know if they would hurt a chicken or goat it would make me mad so they don't

Maybe this will sound weird but this is the life I would like to eventually have...

Well there's a lot less angry people to deal with that's for sure. I guess technically I don't even have to go to town since you can order anything including feed and food online these days.

Thanks for looking after the animals. It is nice to see them have a chance at a decent life vs some of the alternative outcomes that could happen to them.

It's a juggling act at times but life is precious.

Something only a DOG would do!
I admire people that can take care off so many animals!

Don't forget all the back rubs and belly rubs and behind the ear rubs!
I had 3 dogs in my life and the 3rd one was a dog that was abused and ended up in shelter before I took him in so I know how hard it is and how much work and patience you have to have to be able to make such dogs trust humans again.
I can tell you that you are living a better more fulfilling life then most people by doing what you do. You would hate to work in a corporation as an office worker :P

This is a good living, not exactly extravagant but i think it's a humble mellow thing to appreciate and yknow those chickens could lead to that ultimate farm life

If you think I don't have a life then maybe you are right. It's certainly not glamorous, flossy flossy. This is my life and what I spend most of my time doing. Taking care of this bunch and trying not to stress out. The chickens are my only source of income but somehow it works. Some of these dogs were used, abused and tossed out like garbage. The rottweiler in particular is covered in scars and is missing an eye. The akitas owners was talking about shooting them but they are working out real well as livestock guard dogs. Yes, I have 3 Akitas outside with my goats and chickens. Anyway there you have it, I need to get back to it. Cheers.
