I am always shocked at the # of people that will argue and tell you that you must have a rooster to gets eggs or the people that just don't realize that fact. I have even talked to doctors that weren't aware of that fact and even some people that were around chickens.
Somewhere on this board you'll see a post where I said that my usual response to those who say you have to have a rooster to get eggs is, "Shhhh. Don't tell my hens or they may get ideas and refuse to lay. So, it'll just be our secret, ok?" I always love the looks on their faces. <darn fools>
