I just got reprimanded by one of those about an hour ago...let me explain..

I did morning chores till noon, then I started cooking and canning beets, tomatoes and making dinner ( I do not have air conditioning).. when I suddenly realized I did not have enough lids, I quicklygrabbed my keys to run to the store...
The clerk at giant loudly told me that a person is suppose to clean themselves up before going out, I left the stuff on the counter and left, got me things from a different store....



I also once had a lady stop at the FARM and tell me tthat roosters should only make that noise at sunrise...

LMAO!! It's hard to believe that people can be so stupid and ignorant.

Where do these people learn that it is ever acceptable to make comments like that?!?

It's always sunrise somewhere in the world . . .

Funny how some people are so sure they are experts on topics that obviously only have a very slight grasp of. I have noticed that if you speak with great conviction, most people will either believe you, or if they know you to be wrong, at least will not correct you. That is how mis-information takes such a firm root with people.

The older I get, the more sure I am that I don't have all the answers -- but I am getting better at knowing what the important questions are.

Oh boy, I absolutely hate it! I live in the suburbs, and people think that just because they listen to country music (not even the real stuff), wear cowboy hats/boots, and/or drive a truck, they are "country" material. They brag about how country they are, how they want to move out to the country, etc, but these are the same people who can't live without a cell phone or air conditioning, and complain about how their neighbors lawn looks. A good quote someone told me is that "you ain't country unless you bust your *** bailing hay in 100 degree whether".

Man it bothers me so much, you got these city folks who move out to the over-romanced country, since they're "all about that country life". Next thing you know, they're complaining about the noise and smell of the farms, which causes new ordinances that force out the farmers. So much for them being "country material". Stay in the city please and wear your cowboy hat and listen to your county music, the farmers will thank you!

We are city people who moved to the country. We've started listening to country music and everything. BUT we love that there are cows down the road, we rarely use the AC, spend hours canning over the stove, and absolutely love our chickens and don't mind cleaning up after them and hearing them crow. I think some people are born for this life and some just aren't lol.

I need help please.  I have 15 girls, 2 are 21 wks, 10 are 16 wks. and 3 are about 13wks. I have a cockerel that is about 13 wks .  My older girls started laying Aug 7.  I have been getting soft shelled eggs about 3 time a wk, now Sat. night I had 1 ok egg, 1 rubber egg and 1 egg very soft shell all in same nest box.  I think that means I might have 3 laying now.  My question is:  I am not feeding layer feed yet because of their ages.  I tried giving them oyster shells, but the 16 wk girls are the only ones eating them.  I went through about 5 lbs in 2 days.  They are all in the same run and coop. I know you should not feed layer feed under 18 wks.  What should I do?  My 13 wk olds I just got from Beaglady a wk ago Sun. and they will not come out of the coop.  They are eating and growing.  I do have a slw and br that seem to pick on them, they don't get any feathers but as soon as they venture out they chase them back in.  Will this stop soon?  No one else picks on them.  My leghorns are the bossy ones but they don't bother them.  lol

we switched ours to layer feed at 14 weeks old because we ran out of grower and we've had absolutely no problems whatsoever. I wouldn't worry too much about switching them early :) I think we've only had 2 soft eggs total and they were first eggs lol

Obviously not aware of their surroundings. Guess they didn't want your money. I rarely go in there at normal human hours, i'm normally dirty and sweaty from work, but then again at 1am, they're just happy I'm sober.

I thought pajamas were dress clothes. Isn't that what everyone wears now?

Wing... I totally agree with sharron... some folks shouldn't be allowed to breed! I am so glad you walked out without the items... but I would take it one step further and file a complaint with the corporate office of the chain!! Incidents like yours will only stop when businesses realize that doing business in farming country means farmers and country folks may need to run to the store unexpectedly! Word of mouth is a powerful thing.
 
I thought about making a scene.? 20 year's ago I would have, but hubby already say's that I shouldn't be out alone since my mouth has no filter....

I probably did look rough under the circumstances..

I hope nobody gets hurt around me for a couple of days...my red hands will look guilty.
12 pints and 11 quarts of pickled beets should go for the winter.
