Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

I used to freak out and wash my hands obsessively after touching a clean chicken. Then two things happened, fair week and working at a daycare. Now I wash my hands every time a kid touches me (gotta love the paranoia that BBP-universal precautions training instills...) but not really all that much after handling a *clean* chicken. I ate an entire basket of chicken strips and fries after handling show chickens, and I realized it almost an hour later. I laughed weeks later, because I didn't get sick, but all I could think was "I was eating chicken after touching essentially raw chicken." 
I have an incubator full of eggs that should hatch Friday, and I started clucking at the eggs today (day 19) since they would normally "talk" with the hen. I heard a little peep back from the bator, and called my mom to tell her about it. I explained how the chick can hear and peep from inside the shell, and she gasped and said "NO WAY!". At first I thought she was joking, but she was seriously impressed and  ecstatic. LOL


Oh how cool! So cool that I copied your post and sent it to family and friends. THANKS for that!

Yeah, I got one of those PETA calendars too. You sign one petition, and you have free calendars and return address labels for life, he he.
But I don't see what's the harm in taking unfertilized eggs. I once had an argument with a vegan online who said that "The hens need to EAT the unfertilized eggs to regain the nutrients they lose! They'll get unhealthy if you take them! And it also stresses them, they think their babies are disappearing!"
I responded that an egg eater doesn't know the difference between unfertilized or fertilized, thereby meaning she's a genetic dead end because she'll eat all her own eggs. As for being stressed, most hens don't feel the need to be mothers 'all' the time. Besides, the whole point of supplementing their 'natural' diet is to replace the nutrients they lose to eggs.
Stupid vegan demanded 'pier reviewed studies' for my claims. I cited personal experience. Not good enough for her.

I certainly hope you demanded the same from her. I hate people who will challenge your life experiences like that, but expect you to just take their word for it. Oh no. They need to put their money where their mouths are.

Yeah, I know plenty of great vegans!  As is the case for most things, it's the really loud minority that applies some kind of moral judgement to the human/animal partnership that ruin it for everyone else.

As for if PETA is only against factory farms... I found a blog on tumblr not too long ago where the person claimed to be running a "rescue farm" where she would take in animals from other farms.  She claimed that no, not even small back yard home operations where they cared for the animals weren't good enough, they were still exploiting and enslaving innocent animals and stealing from them, raping them, etc.  I honestly had to wonder if her animals were really "rescues" or if she just stole them. 


Well, if she is "rescuing" animals and taking them to her home to care for, how is this better than "small back yard home operations where they cared for the animals"? Isn't that exactly what she's doing? I call this being a hypocrite.
 
My boss was horrified when he learned that we butchered. "You eat your own animals?"
"Yes." I replied. "Who's do you eat?"


Thats reminds me. I'm supposed to take some of my eggs to my coworker. He has finally decided to try them, says they "scare" him. I told him he should be afraid of the eggs he buys in the store.
 
I have one neibour that is a ******** tried to be nice and brought them a dozen eggs they refused them claiming my eggs were dirty eggs that the store bought eggs were much cleaner inside like my eggs had a disease inside them!!
Some people just think someone like me can make eggs bad by letting them roam around in the yard and eat bugs that causes the eggs to be bad? I love my chickens I have some as pets and some as meals just like I do my eggs I have some I hatch and some I fry I was raised on reality not on netendo
