Automatic Chicken Feeder
A game-changer for chicken owners, an automatic chicken feeder ensures that your feathered friends always have access to food. Perfect for busy mornings or for those who may not be able to make it out to the coop every day, these feeders help reduce waste and keep chickens well-fed and happy.
Durable Chicken Waterer
Keeping water fresh and clean in the chicken coop can be a challenge, especially in the winter months. A quality chicken waterer helps maintain the water's cleanliness while ensuring easy access for the chickens. Look for a heated waterer if you're in a colder climate.
Cozy Animal Bedding
All animals need a soft, warm place to rest. Cozy bedding for chickens, goats, and other livestock makes a thoughtful gift. Consider products like hay, straw, or wood shavings that provide comfort and absorb moisture. A good bedding setup helps keep the animals clean, happy, and healthy.
Goat Milking Kit
For those raising goats, a goat milking kit can make a practical and thoughtful gift. These kits usually include a milking machine, sanitizing wipes, and other essentials to make the milking process more efficient and comfortable. Ideal for anyone who wants to streamline their homesteading chores.
Bee Keeping Supplies
If you're buying for a homesteader who enjoys bee-keeping, consider getting them a new hive, smoker, or protective gear. A beekeeping kit can be a great way to introduce someone to the world of honey production, or to upgrade their current setup.
Chicken Coop Accessories
The chicken coop is the heart of a homestead chicken operation. Add some fun and functionality with gifts like nesting boxes, roosting bars, or coop-cleaning tools. A set of easy-to-install chicken doors or windows to let in fresh air can also be a wonderful upgrade for the coop.
Portable Animal Fencing
Perfect for rotating pastures or creating secure areas for different animals, portable animal fencing is an invaluable gift for any homesteader. This easy-to-assemble fencing allows animals to graze freely in a controlled, safe environment.
Chicken Coop Heater
In colder climates, ensuring your chickens stay warm during the winter is crucial. A safe, energy-efficient chicken coop heater can help keep the coop at a comfortable temperature during chilly months, protecting your flock from the elements. (I do not use these, but everyone is different in their wants and needs.)
Animal Care Book or Journal
For the homesteader who likes to keep records or improve their animal care knowledge, an animal care journal or guidebook can be a thoughtful gift. Look for a book about specific animals or one that covers a range of homesteading topics like chicken care, goat health, and even beekeeping.
Feeding Troughs for Goats and Livestock
A sturdy and weather-resistant feeding trough is perfect for feeding goats, sheep, or other livestock. These troughs are practical and come in various sizes, ensuring that animals always have enough food and water, especially when grazing time is limited.
Pet and Livestock Health Kit
A comprehensive health kit for animals is an essential gift for any homesteader. It typically includes items like vitamins, dewormers, and wound care supplies to help keep animals healthy and prepared for any medical issues that may arise.
Chicken Treats
A great stocking stuffer for any chicken lover—treats! Natural, healthy snacks like mealworms, dried herbs, or seed blocks can make chickens feel loved and entertained while improving their overall health.
Animal-Themed Apparel
For the animal-loving homesteader, clothing that celebrates their favorite animals can be both fun and functional. Think custom shirts with funny farm animal quotes, or cozy hoodies with embroidered chickens, goats, or other homestead animals.
