[@mariowickel456]

Guinea hens are quite noisy too

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

[@debraigo1345]

Goats will love her when they get aquainted. She's just their size.

[@jeanburgin160]

JudithB Abby is a nice puppy in spite of her size!!! My Akbash took 2 yrs to finally mature, and at 5 he is still goofy at times! He does a great job and right now a bear is his main problem. I havent seen any damage yet, so he is doing his job well!!!!

[@TonyT-lo2sz]

Loved the way the goats were looking at her... yes, she is great in many ways, one of them her size! love it and love her!!!

[@deborahpinkey1264]

Abby is a big, beautiful people-friendly guardian. Congratulations on acquiring her. The goats are nice and curious, but she is their new best friend. Good work getting the chicken door done to keep out the turkeys.

I love your new guardian doggie! Lucky goats…

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Abby is beautiful! Her eye!

[@dandaniels4558]

That'd a big oh guard dog. Hopefully it doesn't eat the goats. Yeah that dang Americana chicken would have to be on the dinner plate .all that cackling would drive me bonkers. LOL Nice job on the chicken door that will keep the turkeys in line .

[@leavemealone7076]

Nice looking dog, she'll take good care of your animals.

[@lindahusson4206]

Beautiful new LGD.

[@melanieramos7505]

Shes beautiful

[@kaycox5555]

Beautiful dog!

[@lockedin60]

That is a big dog. I bet his bark is heart stopping. It will be interesting to see how well the goats and the dog bond. A great new addition.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

they are already getting along great.

[@SpringRiverHollar]

Goodmorning , I apologize for being MIA but I'm getting ready to head out to become a full time Arkansasan . Has soon as I can, I'll built a coup , just so I can get a Bobblehead flock . Your new dog is beautiful ...Welcome to KZbin Abby . Have a great day......Hi April

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

You can never go wrong with chickens from Jeff @ Bobblehead..

[@bettinah.7429]

Abby is beautiful!

[@poche660]

I've heard the Ameraucanas are good at evading predators.

[@marylott3076]

Good morning. Welcome to Abby. Looks like good protection to me! Nice fix keeping the turkeys out. Nice to see Ellie again.

[@deborahbarton3340]

Love the dog she will be a great help to you and the goats good job on the hole for the chickens God Bless.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

thank you...

[@JimmyOverstreet]

You said the chicken door ain't pretty, man, I think it looks great! Nice looking guardian too. She'll keep the predators away.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

That's the plan!

[@donnadunlop]

Cute how curious the goats were.

[@milcotto4153]

You and that female dog seems to be an instant match. She loves you already. So if she also is a good guardian dog against the big predators, it is all good.

[@melissadyche8325]

😂 😂 lol I wouldn’t know one chicken from the other but my grandmother had them in her backyard and I wasn’t allowed to go in her backyard because she always said they wouldn’t lay eggs if they got stirred up

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Lol

[@loda9510]

Abby is beautiful! Look forward to seeing how she protects the goats

[@timc661]

awesome dawg!

[@bobjoncas2814]

..lookin' good, nice addition too the family, stay safe and have a great week...

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

I sense some fun video's featuring your new dog. I certainly hope predators stay away now.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

i think she will do a good job.

[@sarahbrewer8945]

She's GORGEOUS!!!! They're definitely worth their weight!!!

[@rebeccaphillips3254]

❤️ how she seems really happy to be there! Beautiful home!

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

Abby sure is a beautiful livestock guardian dog and just what you needed to keep the Goats safe. She looks like she already loves you and well behaved. Nice addition to your farm family for sure. I like the chicken Coop hack. Those Turkey's are a hoot. Yes! I heard they are heavy eaters and they grow so dang fast. Does the one still think its a Chicken, lol?

[@Anistz]

Nice you ar a live mate!!!!I wos thinking what wos hapening to you,goats kill you or chikens LOL :D :D

[@jamesguerrieri949]

Nice video. Glad you found her after she hit the electric fence and bolted. My son has a pure breed 4yr old Great Pyrenees male and a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mixed female pup. They're great livestock protectors and very loyal working pets.

[@glimmermomma4373]

That is a beautiful puppy!! Kinda reminds me of a movie: CUJO.. lol 😂

[@nadlubgo]

Looks like turkish Kangal!

[@sinbads.4189]

Boy! She is a beautiful dog. How's the chinking coming?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Thank you. Its coming along slowly. The weather has been the main holdup.

[@darrylhayes9066]

I know I comment a lot but your place is amazing I wish I did like you I look for a place I can move too. Too old to do one myself You know of any in your area thats for sale Dont even have to be a cabin just a small spot with some land Anyway it looks good

[@chrishicks5359]

Abby looks like a really calm dog! What a sweetheart! Love to see how she’s going to work out. Also waiting to see what you’re going to be doing with the house. Do you think you’ll have it all closed in by end of fall beginning winter? I’m so excited to see you guys be able to move in there. Blessings on you and yours!

Oh no I just got 5 Ameraucanas they are all pullets no roosters on my property. I hope mine are not loud like that so far they have ben quiet.

[@melissadyche8325]

Someone has gotten the chickens stirred up they are cackling like crazy or is it you that has them stirred up with your saw and drilling?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

They always make that much noise. The Ameraucana breed is a noisy bunch.

[@ohske]

😯👍👍👍👌❤

[@susannepatriot6264]

Are you going to make her stay tethered?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

only for a little while until she learns that this is home now. After that she will run free with the goats.

[@prem.g.gaikwad]

Hey that's a kangal breed dog right?

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

She is part Anatolian and part Sarplaninac.

[@briandufty5081]

Just want to ask. Is having chicken. Would a Rouster protect. Against. Cats. Rats. People..dogs..Would you have in your yard..

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

A rooster can be aggressive sometimes but will provide little if any protection.

Our pet dogs descended from gorgeous wild wolves and dogs that hunted in packs. In my opinion if we care about wildlife, animals, and the environment. Help save the planet and our pets please stop giving our dogs commercial dog food with fish billions of fish caught in our oceans go to a huge market of pet foods billions upon billions of pets eat trillions of tons of our oceans fish. There is enough other food out there. Billions of people will starve save our oceans wildlife food for seals. Whales and other sea life. Pass this on.

[@hickoryridgehomestead9177]

Our dogs are fed food that we raise here on the farm

[@leddred2078]

@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 my parents fed our dogs healthy scraps from food we ate and only supplemented with commercial food our dog lived until 22 years. My parent my mother's theory was that dogs have been living with us for thousands of years eating our food with us agree
