ONE OF GEORGIA'S income earning opportunities was to raise chickens. And it also served as a good meal here and there. Here is one story from Doug Von Feldt about the chickens:
"As others have mentioned, one of my memories of the farm is the chickens. When we were little there used to be a lot of chickens. Chickens everywhere it seemed. I liked to go into the chicken coop and walk around. The chickens would scatter and make lots of noise and it always had that smell to it. We never had chickens when we lived in the country, but when my family moved to our country house I had to have chickens. I wanted the kids to have the experience of raising chickens and collecting the eggs. It took us a while to finally get the chickens but we really enjoyed it and that is one of the things that I miss the most now that we have moved back to the city. I think the kids actually miss not having the chickens also. When I think of the fun time my family had with our chickens it always reminds me of Grandma and fun we had on her farm."
What else do you remember about Georgia and the chickens on the farm?
