I went for a mammogram yesterday and was talking to the doctor about chickens. He ask me if the rooster fertilizes the eggs after they are laid. It was all I could do not to let my mouth drop. Honestly I don't think I would feel comfortable if this man had to operate on me.

To be fair the reproductive anatomy of humans and chickens is very different.
Exactly lol If you never grew up with it, you wouldn't know. Although, I never grew up with chickens either but I always LOVED animals as a kid and knew everything about everythingMy cousin is a nurse practitioner and one of the smartest, most intelligent people I know. She wants to get chickens, and has asked me if they need a rooster to lay. How could someone who has a Master's degree and years and years of continuing education and training not know this? Simple - she grew up in a large city. She has had no experience with chickens. I live on a farm and am fairly comfortable with my knowledge and experience with chickens. But give me a goat, I wouldn't know the first thing about what to do with it. I've been an EMT for 30 years, would you not trust me to treat you in an emergency because I don't know goats?
