Sewingdiva, sweetest coop evah!

 

[Run-A-Muck Ranch]

We decorate for the animals...Both the wild birds, and all the farm animals...
I have 3 fake trees I put up outside....2 filled with bird feeders and treats for the wild birds outside, 1 inside the barn along the walkway/alley with lights and decorations for the animals in the barn. They all have their own stockings...Well maybe not all....The dogs each have there own stocking, the sheep have one, the birds all share one, the cats share one, the rabbits have one that they all share, the llamas share one, the horses each have there own, and the pot belly pigs share one, the feeder pigs even gets one(if they make it to Christmas time). I run white lights the length of the barn. And at the beginning of each animals pens I run lights and decorations. The editable ones are within reach, where the none editable ones put up higher. My husband thinks I'm nuts for doing all this, but I love doing this.......Sometime after I get all the stuff up I will have to post pictures...
I also decorate the barn for Halloween....
Our animals all get something from Santa in there stockings too...Sheep, Llamas, pigs and chickens usually get a bag of feed to go into the approprate stocking. The rabbits, and horses usually get a few special things in there stockings. The Cats usually get a bag of food, and the dogs usually end up with a few items in there own stockings....Bones, toy, food...etc. etc...

One stocking for all the chickens or do they get individual stockings?
I'm sewing little 5" stockings for each one, 16 in all.. I will hang them on the outside of the coop so Santa can fill them more easily. There's no chimney in the coop, but if I coulda I woulda!

Now that the lights are up on the house today it's time to work on the barn and coop. We love how it lights things up at night when it's time for chores.

The chickens have there own stocking that they share, then the ducks share one, the geese, the guinea gets her own only because she's the only one, the turkeys share one, the sheep share one, the goats share, the llamas share, the rabbits share....and so on.....If I were to give each animal there own stocking we really won't have anywhere for our own stockings..hahaha The animals stockings are actually all in the house...Then for decorations out in the barn I have a bunch of little stockings I hang out there..Not really a rhyme or reason--just put out for decorations...But Santa puts something in each stocking inside the house...Like I said it's usually feed and or treats that he puts in there..

I did, I'm weird that way. I replaced the Christmas trees in my kids bedrooms with 6 foot L.E.D. trees and took the small one to the chicken coop. I did so more for a soft glow of light so I could see out there when the main lights were off. Its not enough to affect the birds much and only glows the entrance and a couple feet inside the coop, but the roost area is still plenty dark for them. It looks much brighter in the picture because I just took the photo a few minutes ago and it is pitch black out there and I think the flash lit up the inside pretty good.

Heck yes! My girls have the solar LED christmas lights on the front of the coop, plus a cute little star wreath on the front door

We used to have stockings for all our horses, when we boarded out we'd put them on the stall fronts

and Pal, Smoothie, and Geronimo would get christmas goodies like homemade molasses treats, etc.

We put up Christmas lights on the chicken pen and they love it! They seem to go outside more after dark with the lights on and it makes it a whole lot easier to see when putting them away for the night! We also hung lights on our guinea hut and dog house!
