What is a chicken switch and why would it stand just outside the door of an Outhouse?
In the “backwoods” farms where they didn’t have a pit, the switch was used to chase the chickens out from under the seat. The farmers always had a few chickens shut up in a coop and “stall fed” so they would have chickens to eat. Added note on chickens: When left to “fend” for themselves they are like vultures. They will eat anything that don’t eat them first. Comment from a visitor to the Outhouses of America tour: “I really like your page. It is nice to have some real comedy for a change. So much so called comedy is just plain stupid. If they didn’t put canned laughter on these TV sitcoms people wouldn’t watch them because they aren’t funny. Keep up the good work.
