I love the country because of how quiet it is I can actually see the stars at night.

I do miss the quiet sound of whippoorwills. (they sound sweet; like a daytime Bob White quail)

I put a switch on my yard light so I can turn it off at night.
Then I go up on the hill and sit with the cows and if I am lucky I see an owl catch a field mouse.

When you have eggs, cheese, honey, fruit juice..all that good stuff for breaksfast...and the only thing you need to do is go outside and work a bit.... nowadays i live in town, but dang i miss the countryside... stars all over the sky during new moon....smell of cow poo and horse poo pig poo chicken poo...water is there, you can swim in the stream and nobody will show up, and even if they show up you know them anyways...you never worry about who is coming to visit you, you always have time enough to see who is coming... I am definetely not a farm boy anymore, i live in the cities for so long now that all this only live in memory, but damn i miss this life...

If you can look up at night and see stars everywhere and not an orange glow... It has been a long time.

There is a whole generation of people who have never seen an actual star in the sky in their lives...

A hawk attacks one of your chickens and it saves its own life by crawling into a rat-trap.

Happened yesterday afternoon. I was re-loading when I heard a huge ruckus. Ran outdoors to find the chicken in the trap, and a hawk just flying away. Feathers all over the place, missing from the chicken's belly. You can see the hawk was going for the "kill shot" - trying to rip open the chicken's belly.

Next stop, 20 gauge shotgun and/or a rooster. I had seen the hawk sitting in a tree about 20 feet off the ground. I guess that was a warning sign that more experienced country people would not ignore. Normally they sit much higher.

On Second Thought ... another living in the country kind of thing ... if you're sitting in the acre below your front yard, with a lower power 30 caliber on a tripod set for a stand up height, waiting for a hawk to get too close ... with a mountain as the back-drop (so you're firing towards the mountain) ... you probably live in the country.

If I fire in the other direction, it's shooting in the general direction of neighbors 250 yards away ... so I would have to use a shotgun.

yup, you're in the country, we do like our privacy

Capt.Ahab · Feb 28, 2016

As much as I can sympathize, please dont shoot any hawks.
Try an owl decoy first. I'm assuming your hens are free range. Set it up overlooking the main area where your hens hang during the day where the hawk will see it.
A big spurred rooster is good for protection but often the rooster will get killed because they will fight the hawk. Then you will need to get a new one.

When you leave a spot in your yard for the dogs roadkill collection.

I called dibbs on all the turtle shells.

Last summer I found a flat mummified toad in the road. It was toad jerky. Baked in the sun and as thin as a flat road toad could get.
I brought it inside and forgot about it. Then I smelled something one day.
Road toad had turned into mold toad.

It's halfway there.

Sounds like it needs to be dried out and maybe driven over again.

I would dip it in soy sauce, then roll it in sesame seeds, maybe with a little side order of wasabi green radish, and take it to a party.

After 3 shots of Techila people will start eating it.

Nothing like Toad Jerky. :woohoo:

Capt.Ahab · Feb 28, 2016

It was past it's expiration date. :biggrin:

Coba · Feb 29, 2016

i just threw up a little in my mouth thinking about Ahab's toad... St Phatty that's a real country story about that chicken hawk.

You know you live in the country if... your chicken coop/hen house is more like a dinner vending machine for the local wildlife.

noyd666 · Mar 1, 2016

if somebody turns up with half a pie.

_tessarecting · Mar 1, 2016

Whats a pie down under?
Is it like an apple pie?
Or a Chicago pizza pie?
Or is it like something with a kangaroo in it?
