I’m a small-town country girl – I stop my chores for some ‘chicken love’ but they like to steal my snacks
A COUNTRY girl knows that there’s a seemingly endless amount of work that needs to be done on a farm.
Even a whole afternoon can’t seem to cover the chores that she has to do.
Dessa Burch (@dessaburch) took her followers around on a maintenance day in a video.
“Let’s get some stuff done this afternoon,” she said, sporting a warm brown coat on a cold day.
She started by gathering some wood and branches for a burn pile, tossing tennis balls to fend off the dogs.
Next came raking up the weeds in the yard.
She took a break from chores by showing her chickens some love and having a snack break with marshmallows.
“I’m trying to have a snack and a rest…” she said, laughing as the chickens took turns pecking at her treats.
“Well, I didn’t get much of that snack,” she joked as a flock of chickens crowded around her.
In another video, she vlogged another day of getting ready to take on tasks at the ranch.
“Who needs the husband, not this girl!!” she joked, adding the hashtags #countrygirlsdoitbest and #smalltowngirl.
Fellow country women took to the comments to show their support.
“Been there done that after the ice storm we had!!” said one. “Took a couple days!!”
Others joked lightheartedly about the chicken situation.
“Chickens glad to see you!!” said one viewer.
“Hope you have an awesome weekend!! Great day to be outdoors!!”
A few even thought Dessa’s attempts to fend off the chickens looked like a good time.
“Looks like fun, I’d help,” said one well-intentioned commenter.
