Yup. Surprised, disgusted, confused.....
They think and say so many things when they find out that I have chickens. The funny thing is I've always been a country girl/ tomboy and they still find it weird when I say I have chickens, sometimes pigs and chase cows almost daily.
"Ew you have chickens?! I mean... umm so you have chickens huh? Well isn't that... um... something.... You don't eat the eggs, do you?! What if there's bacteria or worse, a baby chicken?!"
My response is always along the lines of, "You don't get out much, do ya? My eggs are the same as the ones bought from the store except fresher and with less chemicals."
Then I usually give them my 'you're an idiot' smile and walk on. I've learned there's no sense in trying to educate know-it-alls. They already know it all and it's usually the complete opposite of what I've heard on here.
Silly folks....
