"Why, yes they do. They come from a cow, just like beef and pork do. The different names just tell you which part of the cow they come from." (Oy, vey. It's hopeless.)

My flock is coming into age and should start laying in the next few weeks. I was talking to my wife about the rooster's role in the flock, and that the first few matings may look/sound a bit horrible if witnessed. I told her about how some people made saddles for their hens to protect their back feathers, she scrunched up her face and said "but doesn't the rooster go sit on the nest after the hen lays the egg to fertilize it? You know, like fish do it?" LOL. After I explained that birds do mate like many other animals (we have 3 kids...) she goes "so they come out fertilized? Gross!"

My elderly-ish neighbors love watching my chickies during the day as they do their chickeny things. When the girls started laying their first eggs, the soft shelled ones, i ran over with it to show them. The husband says, "so in a few hours it'll harden up and you can eat it, right?" This coming from a man who's best friends would give him eggs from their farm while they had chickens!

Last night my mom asked me, "So what are you going to do with the eggs?"

Gave some eggs to a friend. Her father wouldn't eat the green ones because the doctor too him to avoid "greens".

I have a friend who's nephew told her (she has chickens) he doesn't eat the eggs that come from chickens he only eats the one they "make" at walmart . Sigh..

So my sister in law grew up on a farm and they had chickens but never really cared for them correctly and thinks she knows everything there is to know about them... When I told her I had bantams she told me she had one once. I asked her what kind and she said "a bantam". Like I was an idiot. BC all bantams are the same. Lol so I explained and showed her all of my bantams. Her response was these are all the same breed bantam? I gave up. Some people.
