Round eggs are hens, pointy eggs are cockerels.

When I told my dad I was getting chickens...

"Are you going to get a rooster so you can have eggs?"

His mother (my grandma) had chickens the whole time he was growing up.

I started out with standard sized hens. When I was getting ready to purchase some bantams for the first time my Mom wanted to know if bantam chickens laid eggs.

It is amazing the number of people who think you need a rooster to get eggs - it just shows how out of touch our society is with where and how we get our food.

My favorite was my sister telling her husband that she wanted him to get rid of the roosters because they were harassing her hens, and he said: "but I don't want to get rid of all of them because otherwise the eggs won't be brown!"

I gave my friend a couple adult guinea hens this past spring. Her neighbor called her one evening and said he saw swans roosting in her trees

If they have seen swans EVEN in a picture book, then they will know that guineas look NOTHING like swans!

You'd think by how many people call guineas ugly and swans beautiful, they wouldn't mistake the two!

I was asked if chickens could live through the winter.

Aren't they dirty?

No, they walk around and pick up their own poop.
