I just heard a man tell his wife that his father told him that blue and green eggs happen because they feed dye to the chickens.

After I thought about this for a while, it occurred to me that feeding chickens dye may turn their poop blue, but their eggs? On even the simplest level, it doesn't make sense.

Imma feed mine dye and see what happens.

Feed a white bird dye during molt maybe it will change color like a cut white flower ;P

Great idea. I'll report back in a month or two. Even if it don't change their feather or egg color, it'd be pretty cool to have fluorescent poop in the yard. Gonna feed it to the dogs too. Won't have to clean the bottoms of my shoes again.

Not exactly a dumbest thing said but a dumbest chicken related story.....
When i was a teen i had a lady from up the road that had a couple ducks decided she wanted some chickens. She decided it would be fun to hatch some eggs and knew i raised chicks and hatched a lot of eggs.
We talked for a while about where to get an incubator and the whole incubating process and she had mentioned she had been reading up on everything. I gave her two dozen eggs.
A little after a week later she stopped by and said none of her eggs hatched. Mentioned she had trouble with getting any humidity to hold. And she wanted more eggs. A t first i thought she had given up on the eggs because of the humidity issue and i was asking if they were still in the incubator and if so to not give up just yet.
She then blew my mind when she mentioned not having an incubator. She said you said to keep it at 100° for 21 days. We didnt want to wait that long so we used our oven and set it at 300° so they should of hatched in 7 days and yesterday was day 7 so i dont think theyre gonna hatch.

Omg now that's hilarious. If they could've gotten it up to 600 degrees they could've hatched in 3 and a half days.

I wish that worked. I suppose it would be the same with human babies, right? Just sit in a hot tub or sauna to shave some time off?
