content: I have, grew up on a poultry farm in the 60's & 70's. We cultivated about a half acre of all types of vegetables, and harvested various types of wild game from the surrounding woods (now gone). It was hard work, but it was an honest day's work and we ate well, even when Christmas presents were sparse. It was a better time. Edit: we were never short of shotgun shells, especially .410. You were constantly defending the chickens/birds from critters in the middle of the night. A good farm dog and working flashlight were a must have at all times, along with the shotgun. Chicken eggs were a big part of our income, and we couldn't afford to feed the snakes.
