Livestock Countdown Challenge — Join Me!


Hey everyone! I’m counting down to February 20th, when my new chicks arrive, and to make the wait more fun, I’ve created a daily activity challenge. But this isn’t just for chicken lovers — whether you raise ducks, goats, rabbits, or any other critters, you’re invited to join in!


Each day has a small, livestock-related activity — sometimes it’s prepping, sometimes learning, sometimes just having fun with your animals. I’ll be posting what I do each day, and I’d love for you all to share your own activities, pics, or stories too!


Today’s activity: brainstorm 5-10 potential names for your 2026 livestock additions
Tomorrow’s activity: give your animal friends a special treat and snap some pictures of their reactions


Let’s make the countdown to chick day (or any upcoming additions to your flock or herd) a fun, shared adventure! Who’s in?
