Question by Rachel: Different types of farm animals?
My family and I just moved to a nice chunk of land in North Florida. (60 acres) We’re starting our own farm. Now my family has experience in farming, so I don’t need tips or anything like that. I’m just wondering if I’m missing anything. I’ve made a list of animals we will be getting and I would like y’all to let me know if I’ve missed any. 1. Layin hens 2. Chickens for meat 3. Turkeys 4. Goats 5. Cows 6. Horses 7. Dogs 8. A cat 9. Rabbits 10. Hogs 11. Ducks 12. Quail 13. Peacock (This is only a possibility. I have to talk my dad into it. He hates the noise they make) 14. Donkey (Also only a possibility. My Dad says, “I hate jack asses and I don’t want one.” But My Mom says, “Sure honey, you can get a donkey.” So I don’t know yet…)

We aren’t getting sheep, bees, or geese.
So anything you can think of would be very helpful! The more animals we have, the merrier I’ll be! 🙂 Thank you in advance! God bless! <>< Rachel @Porker70 - My Dad would like to get bees, but my little sister is severely allergic so we can't. My little sister is also allergic to cats. So we're lucky my Mom is letting us get one. We're not going to push our luck and ask for more. lol The donkey would be a guardian to the goats. It sounds silly, I know. But they are actually very protective and make great "guard dogs". So it will keep the coyotes and any other predators away from them. It will also be used to help carry the fruits and vegetables when we pick them. Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!
