Clue to my Age

These are some ongoing chores I used to be assigned from about 5 years old to about 14/15 years old (intermittent and emergency chores would take pages):

let the milking cows (1 or 2 depending on the year) out in the morning at dawn and make sure they were back in the barn before nightfall

sometimes milk the cows but that was seldom and easy and usually done by an adult

feed and water the chickens and make sure to try and find all the eggs from yesterday and the bantam eggs were smaller and hard to find (we didn't have box nests until later)

carry out the slop for the hogs (never more than 2-3) and make sure they were fed and had plenty of CLEAN water

go down to the well and draw a couple of buckets of water for the kitchen (and after school repeat the process)

chop the already gathered and sorted logs of wood into kindling for the kitchen stove (mostly after school)

dip the chickens (usually 2-3) whose necks were wrung into heated scalding water and pull all the feathers for kitchen and later eating

after rains to tour up and down our farm road ditches looking for crawfish to grab put in a bucket and bring home for supper

gigging frogs at night in a couple of very small local lakes (we called them tanks) at certain times of the year when the weather allowed

spring gardening was a whole set of chores in itself

canning season after the garden was harvested was a whole new set of chores but it meant we had a cellar full of food for winter into spring
