Barn Hop 85


Welcome to the Monday Homestead Barn Hop where youre invited to link up your blog with your very best post of the week; something happening at your homestead or something of interest that will help benefit fellow homesteaders. Plus, each of the 3 Homestead Barn Hop hostess selects her favorite post of the week to highlight the following week. So be sure to visit all three blogs because the "Featured Homestead" could be YOURS!



Thank you to everyone who has been linking back to Homestead Revival, The Prairie Homestead, or New Life on a Homestead. Its like flying the colors of the homestead community and showing others the way to a great life living closer to the land! 
I know this is the third week in a row that Ive featured a post related to chickens. Just couldnt help myself! All three of these gals had such great information to share, and being the chicken girl that I am, I wanted you to see them, too (in case you got bogged down in reading 200+ link ups - woo hoo!!). Kathy, The Chicken Chick, analyzed the accuracy of pumpkins seeds as a natural wormer for chickens and shes sharing her summation with all of us...

"Much confusion and controversy surround the subject of whether pumpkin seeds are a natural dewormer for chickens. I am always open to and interested in things that will help me keep my flock healthy. That having been said, I am not one inclined to accept claims that seem too good to be true at face value. I have researched the subject of pumpkin seeds and come to my own conclusions about their place in my flock."


And heres an added bonus... she also shared a really great recipe for the girls on the same post: 
Peeps Pumpkin Pie.  





Special Announcement! 
Jill at The Prairie Homestead welcomed a new addition to her family this week!! Prairie Boy is now at home resting comfortably with mamma and the rest of the family. Shell be taking the week off to catch her breath and enjoy some bonding time.

If youve been featured in the past...



If youve been a featured blogger on the Barn Hop, either today or in the past, we now have a special button for you should you wish to add it to your sidebar stating that youve been a featured blogger! You can find it on my button page by clicking the hen with the blue barn on my sidebar that says "HR Buttons". Its a good idea to link it back to the page where you were featured so your readers can see where youre actually mentioned. (These buttons do not have a code since it needs to be linked to the page youre featured in and it will change from week to week. Just copy the button or drag it to your desktop).

Did you share any cool new homesteading tips on your blog this week? If so, we’d love to have you link up below! Even if you don’t have a blog, we always welcome your comments!

Please remember that the Homestead Barn Hop is meant to be a place to share homesteading related encouragement and inspiring ideas specfically related to homesteading. In an effort to keep our weekly round-up clutter free, links which are not specifically homestead related, and any promotions such as giveaways, contests, carnivals, etc, will be deleted in order to maintain the integrity of the Barn Hop. Please remember this is a family friendly link up. Any pictures or posts linked to the hop which aren’t appropriate for our children to view or read will also be deleted immediately. We’re pretty conservative, so we ask that you use good judgment and err on the side of caution. 

Make sure that you link to your Barn Hop post, not your blog’s main page, so your guests won’t have any trouble finding your great tips!

We would also appreciate it if you would link back to the Homestead Barn Hop in the post that you share! Feel free to grab the banner at the top of this post to link back to us with.

Want a chance to be a “Featured Homestead” next week?

Be sure youve included an actual link to the Barn Hop, preferably the button, on your post or sidebar, with a link back to us. Thank you for sharing the message about the Homestead Barn Hop!

Occasionally there is a problem posting due to glitches in the internet or the Linky Tools. If you have difficulties posting and it does not show up immediately, please wait a little while and try re-posting (this helps avoid double posting). Were sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, be we do not have absolute control over the internet. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
