I had new neighbors drop in this past Saturday to see my setup (menagerie clearly viewable from the road) and buy eggs. These guys lived in the city, but they have been hunters for years.
I got all the classic questions about egg taste between the different egg colors and breeds.
How the color got on the egg. (Grown men were giddy over blue eggs.
)
How many eggs per week.
What they eat.
If a rooster was necessary for eggs.
Fascination with the meaties that are butchering size.
Somehow they were shocked that you pluck the feathers before gutting.
And they didn't realize a coon would break in and eat chicken heads.
They kept me on my toes. All their questions were serious as they wanted to learn. But then one asked me how often the rabbits lay eggs. THANK GOD he was only joking.
ETA: my own country-raised sister thinks eating my eggs is chicken abortion because I have roosters. Really afraid she'll find a partially developed one.
