I wonder what goes through their heads?

A lovely breeze.

One of my brother's friends was observing my Silkies. He asked, "What ARE those?!" I replied, "They're sweet little chickens. I love the birds." He was startled and said, "Chickens are BIRDS?!"
No. They are carrots.

Wow....

A lovely breeze.

My mother in law called and learned that we had 14 chicks. The convo went like this:
MIL: What? Why do you need that many chickens? You guys are going to have way too many eggs.
Hubby: Sure, during the summer we'll have some to share or sell, but we'll be stocking up for the winter too, when they will slow down or stop laying.
MIL: But that's still too many. You guys don't understand how many eggs you are going to have. These friends have chickens, and one got out. They couldn't catch it for 4 days, and when they did, it had laid 25 eggs at the neighbor's house!
Hubby: No chicken could lay that many eggs in that time. One egg a day at most. And that's a lot.
MIL: Well, that one chicken laid all those eggs, so you guys have way too many chickens.

I would have told her to go buy that chicken cus it's obviously some sort of magical layer... Perhaps the eggs are "golden" inside

Huh! If all hens can do that, great money maker! I will quit my job and be a chicken farmer

I was at my riding instructors chicken coop the other day. Had one of her tenants very rudely tell me that one of the hens was "working on an egg" after I had carefully picked the bird up and felt her over. I had told the woman that the chicken had an abscess. (Poor Easter Egger was walking like a penguin. I've seen that before.)

Me: Do you know how long she has been like this?
Her: Four days. She's working on an egg. She will get better.
Me: If she was egg bound, she would be dead by now.
Her: Well, *insert other tenants name here* says she's working on an egg.

This went on for a while. Same woman had children chasing the poor chickens around the yard.

Wow It still blows my mind how many people don't understand where their food comes from...

A family/friend(twisted sort of relation lol), they've had chickens for 2or3 years now just like 2-5 depending. When I first decided I was getting chicks and had been on here for a couple weeks researching what I wanted for breeds. Well I was telling them about how I was going to get a couple that layed green eggs. They said "oh no all chickens who are outside eating grass and bugs lay brown eggs, that's why the store eggs are white. So all your eggs will be brown."

I also had an ex-boyfriend who thought that dairy cows were called dairy cows because they gave milk all they time. He had no concept at all that they are mammals and have to have a baby to lactate... Seriously, I can't even...

You cant fix stupid - Ron White. Do these people strike youvad moronic in other areas? Or just about their food? I mwan, can they walk and chrw gum at the same time?
