    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

    I get an egg or two a week from my three 8 year old EE hens. They control the flock so they have that job and I don't need their eggs. They also still eat bugs and do yard work. Great grandma had an egg business back until the early 70s. She would order chicks from the feed store. They were...

    There was a couple down by Heppner that was selling eggs at the senior center and Mom almost bought some but others warned her off. These people only sold their old eggs first. They believed that eggs would last just fine on the counter for a year and had saved up eggs for that long to sell.

    There are little plushy nauga animals things you can buy, that make fun of naugahyde. In mythology the naga is a serpent/human hybrid.

    I've noticed just plain vinyl being refered to as vegan leather. Ban naugahyde! Save the Naga!

    Browsing Amazon I came across one of entries for whole frozen silkie chicken. The questions on it make me shake my head. The top one in this killed me.

    Not exactly dumb. I was being a smart aleck today. My husband gave me "the look" for the original post. My cousin just lost it.

    Not funny, but, back around 1965 Grandma picked up some "araucana" chicks at the feed store along with her yearly batch of chicks. She got 4 of them. They were expensive so she really splurged for the advertised blue eggs since they were poor farmers. Mom said those 4 hens were kept as pets...

    Shake the treat can out the back door and there is a stampede here. I can get behind that

    I live 5 hours from my parents. So I save eggs for a couple weeks and take a lot down to them. We don't get down that often. We eat eggs within a couple days between us and the dogs

    No. They are little caterpillar things at the silk tip on the outside of the cob under the husk. If I remember right, the bug lays eggs on the silk and the larva works it's way in

    Yup corn ear worms. We always had to cut off the ends when I grew up. I'd be stuck out shucking the latest batch and come across a lot of them. Toss the husks into the plywood sided compost bin. Learned really quick how to swing with just the right angle and force to snap off just the wormy tip.

    Mom keeps the eggs I take her in the fridge. It's the only way to keep them any good length of time, especially in the summer, because of humidity issues. She lives in the high desert. They hit single digit humidity last week and she's only about a mile from the river. Even in the fridge, after...

    my first reply here was going to be "Well do you?" But since we don't have a sarcasm font, people might thing I was serious instead of making a lame attempt at a joke.

    My Mom likes the silkie eggs because she can trick Dad into eating less since he just counts yolks

    I wash after coming inside from dealing with the chickens. I wash after petting the dogs as well. I know where the dogs have been and can feel and smell the dust and marsh water on me from them. Come inside from working outside and you wash. My farming grandmother instilled that into me...

    So my hubby flew down and visited with a couple of his brothers this last weekend. One is 21 years older than him at 69. Somehow chickens came up and the oldest was telling him how when he had a farm, he had a hundred rhode island reds and the hens were 3 foot tall and the roosters were 4 foot...

    Even my Mom does this and they had araucana when she was a kid back in the 60s. Ok, well she starts reciting the whole thing because that's how she is. She loves the blue and green eggs. She just doesn't like the olive color. She still eats them but tells me to get more ameraucana.

    I can't do Miracle Whip at all. Not even in tuna and I manage a little mayo in that. Don't like the taste. What is even better is when I smoke the tuna before I can it. Then mixing it with a bit of cream cheese.
