Reply #11: Chickens, cows, pigs, and horses.

[FlaGranny]

I'm from the New Jersey pines and farm country and aside from small towns, it is all rural. I have never been able to understand why "city foks" move to the country and then start complaining about the smell of the pigs and cows and horses down the road, the crowing of roosters, you name it. We actually had people buy a home right next to a horse farm, move in and then start filing complaints with the township about the smell of the horses (I'm weird - I actually like the smell of horses). Thankfully, they didn't get anywhere.

I guess they think rural means baby bunnies, fawns, and butterflies.

As far as people keeping roosters, in the natural and organic food market, fertilized eggs are prized over sterile eggs - thus the roosters, at least in some cases.

P.S. Forgot to look at the date and thus I reanimated a dead thread.
