Friend: So how many chickens do you have now? Me: Including the brooding chicks and the quarantined rooster? 20. Friend: *stares* Isn't...that.. That's a little obssessive. Me: It's 20 chickens, not 2000 chickens. Friend: Sandra... *now looking at me like I need some sort of 12-step program*...

Life not worth living without a good dog? I'll go cuddle a cat, thanks. -_-

Neighbour: Can chickens get wet when it rains? Me: No, they have a force field around them. My husband's the same. I asked him just now if he knows what major sporting event is coming up and he said, "Um...I don't...know? And I don't care." He unfortunately cops a lot of crap from guys who...

A good friend of mine used to say, "No, no....not dumb. Simple. Not dumb." Though my husband also says that I'm a very simple creature for many of the same stereotypical reasons men are considered simple creatures. XD

I like to remind people that humans also continue to ovulate outside the presence of a man ;)

Someone who wanted to buy some of my fertile eggs. The dumb just kept pouring out of her mouth. Her: Do I need to do anything to them to make them hatch? Or do I just put them in the nest and hope for the best? Me: Do you have a broody chook? Her: What's that? Me: -_- Me: What breed do you...

;) Nail on the head.

I have also seen warthogs, capybaras and goats living in houses. Not to mention, y'know, cockatoos - which should really be out in the wild pulling fruit of of peoples' trees and making a ruckus. Silly people keeping cockatoos in their houses!

Thanks for your permission to do what I want in my own house. ^_^ I kind of felt that went without saying.

Happy to help. One of the naysayers was not so amused and responded that she could see a label on my forehead reading, "Retarded". Nice lady, that one.

My sister-in-law is equally nasty. Today I had a "chickens are nasty" discussion with someone after posting pictures of my chickens in their chicken nappies(diapers). I have one with persistent bumblefoot that has been improving (thank-you-very-much) since I decided to keep her inside after...

Nope. Installed and in use on the Glenn Highway. http://www.fs.fed.us/wildlifecrossings/case-histories/other/GlennHighway.php

There are small versions of this in my area around the nature reserves for wombats. They are hit by cars so often I've lived in Australia for 13 years and have never seen one alive. :/ Dozens dead. Not one alive.

One of my neighbours got her panties in a twist over (another) kangaroo crossing sign on the road out of town. I asked what her problem with it was and she said she didn't think it was a good place for them to cross and that we shouldn't encourage them. I couldn't even.

Clearly she just misheard you and thought you were talking about hunting zombie deer. Duh.

No! They're POISONOUS! >.> Or if you eat a rooster a portal opens up and you become the rooster, thus sparking an endless black hole of existential torment. Or maybe roosters are just delicious. One of those.

Yes that whole, "I don't want to eat meat from chickens, I want to eat meat from the store" thing is hilarious to me. I'm sorry, where did you think it was grown? My 4 year old keeps telling all of his friends during snack time (because he's forceful with knowledge like his mother) what...

I'm only peeking now in that I'm glancing into the box when I go into the coop for other reasons (opening the coop, changing the waterers out, closing the coop). No more touching. Period. I saw a second little face this evening so things are moving along!

So far the biggest issue with disturbing my broody hens is the chick I found this morning stepped on by its mum. :( I'm guessing it happened partly because I was irritating them and the hatching egg was crushed by her. I've been leaving them alone since finding it.

Indeed. So far my broody hens will, at worst, growl indignantly at me but still happily accept a cuddle. If I steal a chick momentarily (for whatever reason), I get a couple of light pecks when I return it - that's the worst I cop. I work from home/stay home with our child so twice a day I'm...
