  3. 1. Growing up, I often woke up to moos. There was a dairy farm at the end of our street.
    2. No idea. I've never been to a pig farm. And my sense of smell isn't great.
    3. No.
    4. Never. Nor do I expect I ever will.
    5. I mean, I eat eggs now and then. Or use them for baking. I assume the store sells me chicken ones, but I don't think they specify.

    1. I grew up on a dairy farm and I should remember the mooing of cows in the early morning, but I don't.
    2. I suppose I can tell the difference. Both are vile and I think pigs were worse.
    3. I hated living on a farm for 12 years, yet it is part of my life.
    4. Regular tractor driver here. Loved our John Deere.
    5. Chicken eggs are good. Not keen on duck eggs for no real reason.
