Too funny! I can definitely relate, I grew up just outside a major city and now live in the country, grow veggies, raise chickens,and blog about it all. I love it, but when I tell my "old friends" or even my coworkers, they all laugh...oh well, sometimes I laugh too!

I look like a farmer.

 

Especially when I'm wearing my tractor.

I'm several light years away from what you'd classify as the typical chicken farmer. I spend a lot of the day among skyscrapers and on some form of crowded public transport, but it's always nice to come home to my backyard after the end of a long day. wink.png

I have a Beiber style hair cut and I'm 5'8". I look more like a trouble maker than a chicken keeper, but I love my chickens anyways:D.

Suspenders to us are those little metal gadgets attached to the bottom of corsets and used to hold up stockings, very flirty!!! Can't help but smile at the thought of cowboys wearing suspenders.


That is funny!  We call those gadgets that keep up stockings "garters"!  LOL  Oh, and braces go on our kids teeth, LOL  I love it... tongue.png

2 years ago I moved form the city to the country.  We moved into my grandparents home on 19 acres of beautiful mountain land.  When I started getting chickens no one could believe it, because I do not like birds, but I love my chickens.  There are still a lot of people that laugh at me being a chicken farmer, but when I get home from work, I get out with my chickens and it is very relaxing for me.  I retire in 5 years and I can't wait!  I will have a lot more time to spend with my feathered friends!!

I raise Black Copper Marans, Cuckoo Marans, I am just getting in to Faverolle's and Orpington's. I now have a Beautiful Buff Orpington named Dexter. He is 5 months old. I have Buff Chicks, BBS Chicks and Lemon Cuckoo chicks. I also have a incubator full of Orpington and...
