My Mom was raised on a farm that had lots of chickens, so you'd think she'd have some know-how about them. But, she was the baby in the family & spoiled rotten, so she never did any farm stuff. When I told her I was getting some baby chicks, she asked the same old question: "Don't you need a rooster to have eggs?"

I was one of those people that thought you couldn't eat a fertilized egg

so I was a bit on the blind side as well. Now i get all eggcited when I crack one open and see the little "bullseye" mark on it!

I had someone say if you don't have a rooster won't one of the females turn into a rooster. She is a nice girl so I didn't crack up in her face. I don't tell a lot of people I have chickens because my friends think I have gone off the reservation completely. But my kids love them (sometimes more than me) and my husband tolerates them (like most things I decide we are going to try). But they all will think differently when we finally have eggs!

My DH just told me that the tiny "fart" eggs come from the rooster.....with a serious expression on his face

BYC is great and extremely helpful, so I agree!
In fact, I don't even have a FB account(yes, not everyone is on FB!) or any other social networking account...only BYC.
I love that BYC keeps the site clean....very cool!

Yeah,I explained that to him, he looked a little perplexed at first and said...."but the old lady that used to raise the chickens said...." I guess they liked to tease the kids in the village he used to visit in the old country!
