Message:: [QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 87968, member: 878"]Maybe I just didn't recognize it, evelyb, but we did raise chickens. Later turkeys. That was my family - just a hobby along with the Victory garden. Fresh eggs every day and fresh chicken during WWII rationing. We had a large coop 25x25 +- and a larger outside run. I really don't recall any odor. The last tom turkey was kept waiting for the last 2 to get home from WWII. On Thanksgiving 1946 he was an impressive 45 pounds on the server. And tasted great. The dairy farm was my wife's family property they had sold but kept lots for their son and daughter. We're the only family to build there but 8 houses were next to us on the wooded section of 30 acres with 100 acres of open pasture behind us, sloping gently down and leaving us a phenomenal view for 20 plus miles. Yes, Greg. That I do remember. Grazing pastures are fine. It was the crop growers who used horse manure for fertilizer we did not enjoy passing through for a month or so.[/QUOTE]
