I rather hear a rooster crow than city noise of gun shots and police sirens any day!

You know, those are the things I don't ever hear around here, even with this state being a popular hunting locale. The only time I hear gun shots is when I visit the shooting range in the next town!

*grin* we hear gunshots and just assume a neighbor is drunk again! Lol We hearchickens, crows, dogs, cats, coons, guns, cars, music, peacocks, turkeys.... If I didn't hear that I'd be scared bcoz the rest of the planet would be gone!

Yep, same here, LOL

Guns, Roosters (not only mine), peacocks, dogs, cats, and coyotes. Also, add music, since there is not only a band that plays "somewhere" (not sure where, but to the back of my land) and we have a music venue right up the road (yep, Austin is the live music capital) Funny that the live music venue has been there for YEARS, but the subdivision that is building up is trying to shut it down. They KNEW it was there when they moved in, so sad

A friend of mine came out the house to visit and we were outside looking at the chickens. She thought the Silkies were adorable, and then she seen the rooster perform his "duty". She got this shocked look on her face and said,"Omg! What is that chicken doing to the other one?!" I explained and her response was "Right here, out in the open?!" I about died laughing. Good thing I didn't have a female Dane to be bred while she was there lol.

Next time just tell her the rooster's bedroom is being remodeled to put up a mirror on the ceiling and being rewired with mood lighting
My city gal friend just asked me if the eggs in the incubator were laid with the X & O on them... *facepalm* I replied that yes they are as we feed the chickens alphabet soup with all but those two letters picked out. She actually asked me how long it takes to pick them all out!

this is kind of a change of subject, but I had to add it. I have an OCD with sorting my food. if I eat spaghetti I have to eat the noodles first and the meat second. pot roast is celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, then meat.

my parents used to give me alpha bits cereal, and alphabet soup to watch me eat it..... all the A's then all the B's and so on. thank God I have outgrown that.

dad has coon hounds.. and the only time we worry is when the barking or howling changes. we sleep through it.. if it changes boom every one is up and paniced.we can tell dog from dog. and grin cause we know which ones bicker and talk. the neighbors (1/2- 1/4 mi away and yes the barking carries they are bred for it) worry that dad is sick and other things when the number goes down.

we have a black and tan old hound that lives right next to the coop, the chickens are his buddies. he doesnt bark unless something is wrong and shares his food and water with the wandering chicken/roo. heck we have seen him share his dog house in the rain with the roo. the part that bothers me about the city is the car noise, the silence, and the street lights.

ive lived in the country, ive lived in the city; ive lived close to the ocean, and now I live in a "crack". I didn't like the ocean b/c of hurricanes. when I was younger I hated the country because "there is nothing to do." but the city, that's like the worst place ever for me. I like to talk to people, and meet people; when I drive I like to check out scenery as I go. I prefer the smell of fresh cut grass and "farming smells" over the smell of exhaust and asphalt. the people in the city are usually to worried about whats going on around them, and not their own lives. i understand the need to solve certain problems, abuse, drug dealing etc., but i never felt like i should have to mow my yard just because my neighbor did.

another thing that bothers me about "city people" most of the ones who are so quick to complain about what their neighbors are doing, are the ones who disrespect their neighbors the most. meaning they will call the law over your sterio, but they crank theirs all the time. their dog will crap in your yard, but don't let your dog crap in theirs.
