I don't get why people buy vegatarian meat. I mean, it's MEAT. making sure your food is a vegetarian doesn't make you one. Besides, that, it's just not natural, Chickens are omnivores. :/
Ummm...not to be rude.... But Could we get back to dumb stuff?... That IS the purpose of this thread... Maybe you guys could take your food conversation to a food thread?... Sorry. I don't want to seem inconsiderate or bossy, I just read this thread for the funny stuff ...I hate offending...
This happened to us the first time too, they laid right after you checked the first time (and saw none) then laid more right before you collected the next time. I dont know if that makes sense, but I hope it helps! :D
I was showing some people a chicken and one of them asked me "how can you tell if it's male of female?" I pondered for a second, wondering how to answer politely, and then flipped the hen on her back. Everyone around me burst out laughing. :lol:
I sort of kind of get the flapping their wings part. My speckled Sussex, Amber, is very friendly and will eat out of your hand, but if you dare try to pick her up she wil flap violently and for anyone who doesn't know her, it is quite alarming. She would never peck anyone (unless she decides...
Earlier this month at farm fair I was walking around the chicken tent minding my own business, showing a bantam to the little kids, when I saw someone point to one of the cages and say "look! Supper!" To his wife. I walked up to him, gave him a death glare, and he muttered an apology and walked...
She probably thought since Ernie was so good then Bert would be the same.
I'm not defending her, it's still a dumb thing to do. Especially if she was told that they weren't exactly the friendliest dogs in the world.
...part. But wait, there's more.
I said "noooo. That is a CHICKEN."
Her: "oh....why does it have a Mohawk?"
Me: "that's not a Mohawk. That's a comb. *lengthy explanation of chicken anatomy*" (somehow I ended up explaining the feet)
Me: "...... So chicken feet are scaly!"
Her: " oh! Like fish! I...
I didn't get many dumb things said to me at farm fair this year, but you would not BELIEVE number of people who couldn't tell a duck from a chicken and vice versa. And almost everyone thought that the hens were roosters. And the number of people who didn't even know that chicken was the species...
...was the first day of farm fair.
A grown man asked me "do you have anything like foghorn leghorn? My son really wants to see foghorn leghorn. *holding hands two feet apart in midair* you know! the ones this big with the reeeeeaalllly long tail feathers? *holds hands a foot apart*"
Me: "those...
I get that, I know I don't know everything, and I never will, but I knew that a hen was female and laid eggs and a rooster was male and did NOT lay eggs even before I had chickens. I have to wonder what sort of toys these people had as children. I always had the baby animal books and plastic...
Where I live farm fair is coming up, and I will be in the chicken tent showing off my birds so I am sure to get a ton of dumb things said to me. Wish me luck guys. :/ I have to try my best to be polite.... And not laugh about it with my friends until they've walked away. :lol:
