Dumbest thing youve heard someone say about chickens or Farm animals ?

[cheekychick]

I had someone complain to me that their Australorps keep escaping from their newly fenced yard. I asked her what fencing she was using and she said it was 6ft tall DEER fencing!!! HELLO!!!!!!! it doesnt take much for an Australorp to jump through the large gaps between the wires!!!

What is the dumbest thing youve ever heard someone say about chickens?

How can you tell them apart?

Ahh the same way I can tell people apart.

I burst out laughing at this.. brilliant idea. Now tempted to bring silkie, showgirl or turken.....

My flock is mostly naked necked. A friend of nephew's came here with him once.. he had fun here (teenage city boy, never saw a chicken before) but when they got home he told his parents that I shave my chicken's necks.... LOL

"But you need a rooster to have eggs!"
This said by a 50-something city counselwoman who had had chickens growing up, after a four-month struggle on our part to be allowed hens and numerous info packets.

Along the same lines "How are you getting eggs if you don't have a rooster?"

At a family gathering, my husband's cousin informed me that my chickens would completely stop laying at a year old. He then proceeded to argue the point with me. Despite the fact that I have chickens who are older than a year, who lay quite well.

Also, my stepfather assured me that without a roo, the hens won't lay. Again, despite the fact that I hadn't had a roo in ages. And brought extra eggs to give away.

Sigh... Why argue when they KNOW what they're talking about?

I had a couple come to buy chicks from me yesterday, when they saw all my chickens, they were like WOW. I was showing them about the different kinds I had and told them if they wanted one of my extra bantie roosters, they could have him for free. The woman said "oh, we dont want blood in our eggs" I said "HUH?" she then proceeded to tell me that having a rooster would make blood inside the shell and ruin the eggs for eating. I had to explain and crack one of my freshly gathered eggs... "see this bullseye? that's what the rooster does"
Also I gave them about a dozen eggs to take home to eat, the man asked me "will this rooster keep the eggs warm?"

I gave a dozen eggs to my 87 yr. old neighbor who's daughter proceeded to replace them with store bought eggs, explaining that they would "stay fresh better." Oohhhh!
