I've heard that one quite often as well. along with the advice; "Just turn it over and put the flat side up and it will be fine".

Is that kinda like putting the burned side of the grilled cheese down so no one notices??

I have heard so many times, "How can you have eggs if you don't have any roosters?"

 

[can you hear me now?]

I still love the hardees nuggets commercial. If we eating chicken nuggets I would hate to think where we get em.

Country here, and I have always known

I lived on an Island most of my life and know about lobstering/crabing and fishing. We did not have many farm animals on the island. I can remember a pig and some horses. And come to think of it there were guinea hens cause I remember the owner told us they would eat ticks. The island had a lot of ticks. If you walk through a field you would be covered. I picked off 45 one day. Nasty little buggers. I am still learning about the chickens. I still ask stupid questions about them.

I went to a chicken meet and asked someone if that was a chicken. DUH!!!

It looked more like a dove than a chicken. I have no idea what breed it was. Odd looking thing. It was gray and very small. Not a silkie. Smaller.

this thread is pretty funny! I must be a 'city slicker', because I wasn't raised on a farm. I've had a few questions along the way of raising chickens, of course. Much funnier to me than some things in this thread however, is (comment removed by Staff --- review BYC "Don'ts" rule #5)

I asked my dad about that once, because we didn't live on a farm, but we didn't live in a city either. We were just plain "country" without being too far backwoods. My dad said we were "hybrids" because we knew more about gardening and country stuff than a city slicker, but also more about city stuff than a true country person since we lived so close to the city.

Examples: our road was paved rather than dirt or gravel you didn't need a 4 wheel drive to get to our house, and our mailbox was at our short driveway rather than a mile up the road, BUT things like sidewalks and stoplights were something we only saw on TV when I was growing up.

Those "safety rules" that they told kids on tv, about crossing the road at the corner at a light, and crossing with traffic ---- all that stuff totally befuddled me as a child, and really didn't make sense until I went to college, where we had *gasp* sidewalks and stoplights!!!! I imagine the city slickers could make a thread of funny stuff that country folks didn't know
