when it's her turn to wake up at 6am and water the chickens

if youuuuuuu think getting up early to take care of the homestead is a "taking turns" kind of thing, you might not be a redneck

It’s nice that people have the idea of equity in mind when describing an idealized work structure, but it’s a constant negotiation and ought to be.

I wasn't describing an ideal work structure, just a reality if you have a homestead and two people living on it

Oh no, I agree. They’re your chores or the other persons chores until someone gets too overwhelmed to handle it then they fall to the other person until the same thing happens again like one of those giant rotating pendulums swinging around knocking the dominos down in slow motion.

Yep with only 2 people both are getting up early to get to work.

also if you think you need to wake up early to get your chickens water lmao

Yeah “watering the chickens” is the least of your worries on a small farm. Literally just put a bucket of water in there for them and swap it out for clean water every once and a while. There’s a hundred other more pressing tasks
