You know you live on a farm, when you practically have to rent a U-haul to do the monthly shopping
to bring home the feed, hay, shavings, and not to mention the food for the family.

Grocery shopping used to be so simple. Once you add the feed store to you list it becomes
a work out. No need for the gym when you live on a farm. The rush could never match the
work that I do in one day. Lifting, bending, strength training and so on.

After a long hard day, nothing like taking it easy by the coop watchin' the chickens.
 
*When you have had 150 chicks in your bedroom at once and the heat lamps make it look like daytime*
*People at the feed store ask you where somethings at and you tell them three aisles down on the left side half way down and second shelf to the top and you DONT work their*
*You bring hurt animals inside*
*From sunset to sunrise your takeing care of some animal or feeding and cleaning something*






~ ETA: When kids or teachers ask you at school what kind of animals you have and you name the kind off then automatically name everyone by name off ~

You know you live on a farm when you go down the road returning from town and see your horse on a neighbor's property and not having a halter and lead line handy you take your bra off, wrap it around the horse's head and lead him home...yes...we both " bounced" home.

You know you live on a farm:
~When you have chicken vaccines, dog vaccines, horse vaccines in the fridge door. That's the same fidge that you keep your 40 dozen eggs in until you sell them.
~You don't hesitate to sew up a duck or hen that has been attacked by a rowdy puppy.
~You sit up all night, or many nights with a sick or dying animal.
~You have a SOLD OUT sign to hang up on your "eggs for sale" sign.
~You tell your visitors "Be careful not to step in the poop" Chicken, horse, dog, etc.
~You have a bucket in the kitchen for the "Chickens"
~You don't mind the hay in the floor in the house, it makes it kind of "Homey"
~You entertain thoughts of how to invent a "Hatching Bra" in case of a power outage.
~You staple plastic to your straw hat to make a "hands free umbrella" to help keep you dry in the rain.
~You have an LED headlight attached to your other straw hat to check on the animals at night. This allows you to be able to carry the shotgun while you're looking around.
~You don't have time to watch TV, or the inclination!
~No rubbermaid container is on your property that hasn't had animals or feed in it.
~You tell your 4 year old Grand Daughter, that the chicky had to go to heaven to be with her Daddy, Jesus wanted him to have a chicky too.
~You cry with her when you bury the chick...........
~You bow your head in Thanks more than once a day.
~You are certain you are a direct decendant of Noah.

You know its a farm when friends come to visit and you have to get the horses off the porch just so they can get to the door...

The old mare is on the back porch driving the border collie crazy (short trip) by licking the sliding glass door bottom to top, just to watch him jump up.

Yes, she really did multiple times. Poor boy...

Have to keep it roped-off now, Mavie the black gelding knows how to open door with nose. Horse+ Tile floors do not mix...
We are window TV for horses and chickens, they all gather at the windows to watch what is going on inside...

I also name them, T-Bone,Porkchop,Porterhouse, if the name fits: EAT IT

I love the way this thread has taken off!

you know you live on a farm when it takes you an hour + to do chores in the morning and in the evening.

you know you live on a busy farm when you can't even pay someone to do your chores so you can go on vacation.

you know your 4 year old lives on a farm when he can tell all his preschool classmates where eggs come from, milk comes from, chicken nuggets come from, hamburgers come from, bacon comes from, etc! (his teacher told me all about it! Wish I coulda been there!!)
