Nah I was talking about the bottom part lol.
“Discrimination! It’s absolutely

I’m just confused what all that has to do with this nice little chicken myths thread that I’ve been quite enjoying.

Agreed. Have no idea what @Dreamzchacers is talking about or how it fits into the topic here.

Myth: Ayam Cemanis lay black eggs
True/False: False
Origin: Saw this online somewhere. I think people assume they lay black eggs because they are an "all-black" chicken.

That would be pretty cool, sctually! What color do they lay, Cherry?

That's not Mare, but that IS the 6th fake Mare I have seen today.

I’m not actually Overo, just an impersonator.

In my defense, I was the first fake Mare, everyone else just thought it’d be fun to join in.

Its a creamy/tannish color. My pullet laid cream with grey speckling(kinda looked like thin spots but wasn't). Really wish i had saved one

Chickens bite

Myth. My little cousin got poked by one of the chickens and yelled, “hey! She bit me!” I had to tell him, she can’t bite, she doesn’t have teeth. And I explained when you step on a chicken accidentally they get mad and peck you with their beak. Lol

Teeth are not required for biting, only jaws.

One of the broodies from my in-town flock, who was the friendliest chicken when not broody and the only chicken I've ever had who liked to be picked up, would bite and hang on when I was trying to take the eggs.
