Dumbest Questions or Comments You Have Received About Birds

[aubreynoramarie]

My mother is constantly worrying about me becoming overrun with chickens. "you know, one lays two eggs, then those two lay two eggs..." and so on.



she knows i dont own a rooster.

- TRUE STORY!-

When my hens were a only few WEEKS old, my neighbors said, "ah! Are they laying yet!?"

I am torn between "how many roosters do I need to get eggs?" and "what color eggs does it (a rooster for sale) lay?"

People never seem to let me down. Everytime you think maybe the world is getting smarter... you run into a true idiot.


I have even got people asking "do these (talking about a breed) lay 2 or 3 eggs a day?"

The scariest part.... most the time these people have already had chickens.... some their whole lives!!!!

oh you want to get into dumb breed identifying comments....

my favorite is how everything barred is a "dominicker"

I can't tell you the time I have locally with my rare breeds. people call my barnevelders welsummers AND ARGUE when you simply say "these are Barnevelders...."

I had a woman at the last trade I went to that told her husband (who was buying two silver sebright pullets off me) rather hatefully that he wasn't going to buy those two roosters off me! he said, "they are girls" to her and she had a fit (loudly) about how I was scamming him. "thems roosters!" she yelled. He looked at me, rolled his eyes, and gave me my money. lol

i bet once my chickens become bigger and noticeable and i let them free range, my neighboors will start noticing, then hopefull the question will start rolling in

that reminds me about the "dominiker"

i was rinding the bus home from school last year, and i was talking about chickens to my friends, i started talking about dominies, and one girl says "Dominique is a name of a person" no matter how much i told her that it is a breed of chicken, she said it was a name for a person
